## What it is
A sample .NET distributed eCommerce application based on eShopOnContainers, rebuilt to use Dapr building blocks for microservice communication, state, pub/sub, and observability. It serves as the companion code for the free 'Dapr for .NET developers' e-book.

## Use cases
- learn how to build microservices with Dapr in .NET
- see a reference architecture for a distributed .NET application
- understand Dapr building blocks like pub/sub and service invocation
- follow along with the Dapr for .NET developers e-book
- explore an API gateway and aggregator pattern with Envoy
- evaluate Dapr for an eCommerce-style workload

## When to choose
- you want a hands-on, e-book-backed sample of Dapr with .NET
- you need a reference for decomposing an app into microservices
- you're evaluating Dapr building blocks before adopting them

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready eCommerce platform to deploy
- you don't use .NET or Dapr
- you need actively evolving samples - the repo points to newer Dapr samples

## Facets
- artifact type: application
