KrakenStartup

KrakenStartup is a robust and scalable built with ASP.NET Core that is under development for completion of my Information Systems College at FIAP and based on the principles of Domain-Driven Design (DDD). It provides a solid foundation for developing modern web applications, with a clean and layered architecture that promotes separation of concerns and maintainability.

Features

• Layered Architecture: Follows a clean, domain-driven architecture to separate business logic, application services, and data persistence.
• Modularity: Built on a modular structure that allows for easy extension and customization.
• Authentication & Authorization: Comes with a pre-configured identity module for user management.
• Localization: Supports multi-language applications with built-in localization.
• Dependency Injection: Fully integrated with ASP.NET Core's dependency injection framework.

Technology Stack

• .NET 6+
• ASP.NET Core
• Entity Framework Core
• SQL Server
• Bootstrap
• jQuery

Project Structure

The solution is organized into the following projects, each with a distinct responsibility:

• KrakenStartup.Core: The domain layer, containing entities, value objects, and core business logic. This is the heart of the application.
• KrakenStartup.Application: The application layer, which orchestrates the domain logic through application services. It acts as a bridge between the presentation layer and the domain.
• KrakenStartup.EntityFrameworkCore: The infrastructure layer responsible for data persistence using Entity Framework Core.
• KrakenStartup.Web: The presentation layer, an ASP.NET Core web application that hosts the user interface.
• KrakenStartup.Tests: Unit and integration tests for the application and domain layers.
• KrakenStartup.Web.Tests: Tests for the web layer, including controllers and UI components.
