Service
A service is a capability or activity provided by an entity to meet the needs of users or other components.
Building Web APIs with ASP.NET Core
An ASP.NET Core service is a registered application component that provides functionality to other components through dependency injection.
- How it is used
- Provides application functionality through reusable components registered and resolved by dependency injection.
- How deep it goes
- Explains interfaces, registration, configuration, injection, and Program.cs conventions, but defers detailed service lifetimes and implementation code.
- Examples
- Demonstrates AddControllers, AddEndpointsApiExplorer, and AddSwaggerGen in a Program.cs application startup listing.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure services in Program.cs using builder.Services and Add-prefixed extension methods.

Shipping Go: Develop, deliver, discuss, design, and go again
A software component that provides functionality to other components through a defined interaction boundary.
- How it is used
- Connects application components to external functionality or routes traffic to container deployments.
- How deep it goes
- Defines endpoint routing and load-balancing behavior, but defers deeper Kubernetes mechanics.
- Examples
- Uses a remote translation client, hello-api, and Kubernetes Service YAML targeting port 8080.
- What you can do after
- Operate/configure services through endpoint settings and Kubernetes Service YAML.
