🏗️ Architecture

🎯 Production-Grade Code & Architecture

Built with .NET industry best practices and patterns: Vertical Slice Architecture combined with Clean Architecture.

OpenTelemetry, Authentication & Authorization with JWT and Refresh Tokens, Validation, Logging, Error Handling and Tests out of the box. This is exactly what you need to build a production-ready application.

Key Highlights

  • Vertical Slices: Features are organized by business functionality rather than technical layers
  • Clean Architecture: Core domain is isolated from infrastructure concerns
  • Minimal Dependencies: No AutoMapper, MediatR or other unnecessary 3rd party packages
  • CQRS with Manual Handlers: Clean, explicit, testable use case implementations
  • Manual Mapping & Result Pattern: No 3rd party packages required
