To build a .NET 8 microservice with minimal APIs, apply clean architecture patterns by separating domain logic, using MediatR for CQRS commands, EF Core for data access, and JWT for endpoint security.

Implement CQRS with MediatR in a .NET 8 minimal API by configuring dependency injection, routing commands and queries through MediatR request handlers, and maintaining strict separation of read and write operations.

Yes, the approach supports JWT authentication to secure .NET 8 endpoints by configuring token validation, applying authorization policies to minimal APIs, and enforcing strict nullable reference types across the service.

Yes, you can use EF Core for asynchronous I/O database operations and integrate OpenAPI to generate documentation for your .NET 8 minimal APIs, ensuring maintainable dependency injection and comprehensive testing.

You need CQRS and clean architecture for cloud-native microservices when building production-ready .NET 8 backend services that require scalable asynchronous I/O, secure endpoints, and highly maintainable testing workflows.

Write integration tests for a .NET 8 minimal API with MediatR by validating the dependency injection container, testing asynchronous I/O endpoints, and ensuring JWT authentication and EF Core data flows function correctly.
