Roadmap for a .NET Backend Developer working with Microservices
A visual roadmap (mind map image plus a .mind file) laying out topics a .NET backend developer should learn to work with microservices and cloud, created by a course instructor. It's for devs who want a checklist of what to study next, not a library or tool you install.
The scope is sensible and specifically scoped to microservices/cloud rather than generic .NET, so it skips a lot of filler. It's maintained by someone who actually works in this space (Dometrain courses, conference speaker), so the topic choices reflect real production concerns rather than a scraped list. The interactive mind map link makes it easier to navigate than a flat markdown list.
There's no actual content here beyond an image and a link to an external mind-mapping tool — if that link or the hosted map ever goes down, the repo is just a static PNG. Last pushed June 2023, so it's stale for a 'roadmap' that's supposed to track an evolving landscape (no mention of newer things like .NET 8/9 minimal API changes, Aspire, or current K8s tooling). It also doubles as a funnel into paid courses, which colors some of the topic emphasis. No actual code, examples, or links to canonical docs/resources per topic, so it tells you what to learn but not how or where.
