## What it is
CoolStore is a containerized .NET Core microservices reference application built on Dapr and Tye, demonstrating microservice architecture principles through an e-commerce web application. It includes a React frontend, REST/gRPC APIs, and uses DDD and clean architecture patterns with Docker, Kubernetes, and service mesh support.

## Use cases
- learn how to build .NET microservices with Dapr
- reference example of clean architecture and DDD in .NET
- demo microservices application to deploy on Kubernetes
- study service-to-service invocation and API gateway patterns
- sample e-commerce microservices codebase for experimentation
- explore Tye for local microservice orchestration

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on reference for Dapr-based .NET microservices
- you're learning DDD and clean architecture in the .NET ecosystem
- you need a realistic demo app for Kubernetes or AKS deployments
- you want to see microservice patterns like API gateways and interservice communication in practice

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready system - the repo itself warns against production use
- you're on modern .NET versions - it targets the outdated .NET Core 2.2 SDK
- you want an actively maintained project - development has moved to practical-clean-ddd
- you need a lightweight monolith or simple starter template
