Clean Architecture with .NET
By :
Clean Architecture gives us a strong foundation for building maintainable and testable systems, but that structure can come with a real cost. As we applied the same architectural rules across use cases, repositories, and validation, the amount of supporting code started to grow quickly. This chapter is about addressing that tension without giving up the benefits of the architecture itself.
We began by looking at where that friction comes from. Even simple operations can accumulate a surprising amount of scaffolding when every request is routed through the Application layer and every boundary is treated consistently. From there, we introduced MediatR and FluentValidation to establish a more consistent request pipeline, reduce direct coupling, and move validation to the application boundary where it belongs.
Once that foundation was in place, we applied CQRS to separate reads from writes. That made the intent of our handlers and repositories easier to see, and it gave the application...
