What problem does it solve?

General guidelines to enforce a robust ASP.NET Core 8 REST API architecture based on Clean Architecture with Vertical Slices, ensuring consistent project structure and coding conventions across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Defines a standard multi-layer structure (Controllers, Services, Repositories, DTOs, Models, Mappings, Validators, Exceptions) and a shared nucleus to organize cross-cutting concerns.
• Standardizes dependency injection lifetimes, middleware pipeline order, and naming conventions to accelerate project setup and reduce boilerplate errors.
• Serves as a reference when scaffolding new features, reviewing project layouts, and onboarding new team members.

Quick Start

Apply these guidelines when starting a new .NET 8 REST API project or evaluating an existing one.
