backend-standards

You enforce clean architecture in .NET 8 by applying standardized backend practices that maintain strict separation of concerns between Domain, Application, Infrastructure, and API layers. This prevents architectural drift and ensures consistent layer-specific rules across feature modules.

Standardizing CQRS handlers and domain entities in .NET involves using centralized templates for handlers, Specification patterns, and Result-based error handling. This ensures consistent implementation across feature modules and adherence to architectural decision records.

You validate feature compliance with architectural decision records by applying pre-task and post-task operational checklists. These checklists verify adherence to ADRs, testing requirements, and formatting rules through automated validation pipelines during feature development.

Yes, this approach works with MediatR for implementing CQRS patterns in .NET 8 applications. It facilitates consistent implementation of handlers, domain entities, and infrastructure interfaces across feature modules while maintaining clean architecture standards.

Architectural drift occurs in backend development due to inconsistent implementation of patterns and lack of centralized standards. You prevent it by enforcing strict separation of concerns and providing standardized templates for CQRS handlers, Specification patterns, and Result-based error handling.
