## What it is
A proof-of-concept insurance sales system built with .NET 8 using a microservices architecture, demonstrating CQRS with MediatR, service discovery with Eureka, API gateway with Ocelot, and messaging with RabbitMQ. It serves as an educational reference implementation accompanied by a detailed blog series explaining the architecture and design patterns.

## Use cases
- learn how to build microservices with .NET Core
- example of CQRS and MediatR in a real system
- reference architecture for API gateway with Ocelot
- see how to use RabbitMQ with transactional outbox pattern
- sample insurance sales system for agents
- learn service discovery with Eureka in .NET
- example of real-time communication with SignalR and RabbitMQ
- understand domain-driven design in microservices

## When to choose
- you want a working reference implementation of .NET microservices patterns
- you are learning DDD, CQRS, or event-driven architecture in .NET
- you need a starting point for a distributed system with Ocelot, Eureka, and RabbitMQ
- you want to study a full-stack sample including search, dashboards, and real-time chat

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready insurance system rather than a simplified PoC
- your stack is not .NET
- you want a minimal monolith instead of a multi-service architecture
- you need guaranteed maintenance or long-term support for a sample project
