## What it is
A Microsoft sample ASP.NET Core 8.0 reference application demonstrating a monolithic web app architecture with clean architecture and DDD patterns. It accompanies the free ebook 'Architecting Modern Web Applications with ASP.NET Core and Azure' and is now community supported.

## Use cases
- learn clean architecture in asp.net core
- see a ddd sample application in c#
- study monolithic web app architecture patterns
- find example code for the asp.net core architecture ebook
- learn entity framework core usage in a real app
- understand asp.net core mvc best practices

## When to choose
- you want a well-known, Microsoft-backed reference codebase for ASP.NET Core architecture patterns
- you are reading the accompanying architecture ebook and want matching sample code
- you want to see clean architecture and DDD applied in a monolithic .NET app

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready eCommerce application - it intentionally omits real shop features
- you want actively developed samples - development moved to dotnet/eShop
- you need a microservices or containerized reference app - see eShopOnContainers instead

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: web-development, tutorials, education
- platform: dotnet, cross-platform
- tags: aspnet-core, clean-architecture, ddd, reference-application, sample-app, ef-core, monolith, ebook-companion, software-architecture, web-server
