Clean Architecture Dotnet

Abstract

1. Introduction

In the end of our journey, we would like to give these simplified and effortless libraries and samples as a reward for you. Enjoy the Minimal Clean Architecture, Domain-driven Design Lite, CQRS Lite, and just enough Cloud-native patterns!

"Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein

We know that, and that's a reason we publish these libraries and samples. These are distillations with all best practices, tips, and tricks, and whatever made us spend a lot of time struggling to solve.

2. Objective

🕸 Yet Another .NET Clean Architecture, but for Microservices project. It uses Minimal Clean Architecture with DDD-lite, CQRS-lite, and just enough Cloud-native patterns apply on the simple eCommerce sample and run on Tye with Dapr extension 🍻

This project demonstrates how C#, Kubernetes can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

4. Technology Stack

• .NET Core 6 - .NET Framework and .NET Core, including ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core
• MVC Versioning API - Set of libraries which add service API versioning to ASP.NET Web API, OData with ASP.NET Web API, and ASP.NET Core
• YARP - A toolkit for developing high-performance HTTP reverse proxy applications
• MediatR - Simple, unambitious mediator implementation in .NET
• EF Core - Modern object-database mapper for .NET. It supports LINQ queries, change tracking, updates, and schema migrations
• FluentValidation - Popular .NET validation library for building strongly-typed validation rules
• Swagger & Swagger UI - Swagger tools for documenting API's built on ASP.NET Core
• serilog - Simple .NET logging with fully-structured events

5. System Requirements

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
