## What it is
A .NET solution template that scaffolds production-ready ASP.NET Core applications following Clean Architecture principles, with optional Angular or React frontends and a choice of SQLite, SQL Server, or PostgreSQL. It includes pre-wired CQRS via MediatR, validation, authorization, logging, EF Core persistence, Aspire orchestration, and a full test suite.

## Use cases
- scaffold a new asp.net core web api with clean architecture
- start an enterprise .net app with angular or react frontend
- generate a cqrs solution with mediatr and fluentvalidation
- bootstrap a dotnet project with entity framework core and postgresql
- get a production-ready rest api template with authentication
- create a full-stack dotnet solution with tests included

## When to choose
- starting a new ASP.NET Core enterprise application and wanting a solid, opinionated foundation
- you want Clean Architecture, CQRS, and vertical slices without wiring infrastructure yourself
- you value testability, separation of concerns, and batteries-included tests and CI
- you want to pick between Angular, React, or API-only with multiple database providers

## When to avoid
- you have an existing codebase whose structure differs from Clean Architecture
- you need a minimal microservice or script where a full layered solution is overkill
- you prefer a different architectural style or want full control over project layout from scratch
- you need to switch database providers after scaffolding, which the template does not support
