SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the complexity of building scalable, secure .NET 8 applications by providing a structured approach that combines minimal APIs, clean architecture, and cloud-native patterns to deliver production-grade services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architectural guidance: Applies clean architecture, CQRS with MediatR, and modular boundaries to large-scale backend systems.
  • Security & compliance: Includes JWT authentication, authorization policies, and OpenAPI documentation to ensure secure and auditable APIs.
  • Production-grade enablement: Emphasizes async I/O, DI, AOT-ready compilation, and integration with EF Core for data access.
  • Use Case: Build a microservice that exposes minimal APIs, validates requests, and persists data via EF Core across multiple bounded contexts.

Quick Start

Start by scaffolding a .NET 8 project with minimal APIs, integrate EF Core and MediatR, then implement a sample CQRS flow with authentication.

Frequently Asked Questions about dotnet-core-expert

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure a .NET 8 application using clean architecture and minimal APIs?▼

Structure a .NET 8 application by combining minimal APIs with clean architecture to enforce modular boundaries. This approach separates core logic from infrastructure, ensuring scalable and maintainable production-grade services.

What is the best way to implement CQRS with MediatR in a .NET 8 microservice?▼

Implement CQRS with MediatR in a .NET 8 microservice by routing commands and queries through MediatR handlers. This pattern decouples request handling, enabling scalable async I/O and clear separation of read and write operations.

How do I add JWT authentication to a minimal API in .NET 8?▼

Add JWT authentication to a .NET 8 minimal API by configuring security policies and authorization middleware. This ensures secure access to endpoints and generates auditable OpenAPI documentation for your production APIs.

Can I use Entity Framework Core with clean architecture across multiple bounded contexts?▼

Yes, you can use Entity Framework Core with clean architecture across multiple bounded contexts. This integration handles data access within modular boundaries, ensuring type-safe persistence in scalable microservice environments.

Does .NET 8 minimal API support AOT compilation for production-grade microservices?▼

.NET 8 minimal API supports AOT-ready compilation to optimize production-grade microservices. This approach enhances startup performance and memory utilization while maintaining strict type-safety and async I/O operations.
