Clean Architecture with .NET

Learn Clean Architecture as a set of organizing principles, not just code templates. This book shows how to design scalable, testable .NET apps using modern patterns, DDD, CQRS, and secure Azure integration.

Key Features

Architect robust .NET apps with domain-driven, testable Clean Architecture
Integrate Azure External ID and Key Vault with real-world cases
Apply MediatR, CQRS, and modern .NET practices to streamline architecture
Implement persistence with EF Core using a code-first approach and Clean Architecture boundaries
Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book DescriptionLearn to architect resilient and maintainable .NET applications with Clean Architecture and Azure in this example-driven guide. Designed around a realistic e-commerce project - Project Odyssey, you'll explore every architectural layer, from core domain logic and application orchestration to infrastructure and presentation.
This book equips you to apply domain-driven design, CQRS, MediatR, and dependency injection, enabling loosely coupled, testable systems. You'll build reusable and modular code structures that scale with your application's complexity. You'll also learn how to persist data using EF Core with a code-first approach, managing schema evolution with migrations while keeping infrastructure concerns isolated from your domain logic. Discover how to develop secure systems by integrating Azure External ID, Key Vault, and application-level authentication and authorization.
Gain practical experience with Blazor Server, Razor components, and MudBlazor UI, all integrated within a layered architecture. Learn to enforce business logic boundaries, reduce boilerplate with generic request handlers, and use real-world use cases like payment processing and cart management.
Whether you're using Clean Architecture for the first time or scaling up enterprise solutions, this book provides the patterns, tools, and mindset to succeed.
