Overview of this book

Learn how to apply Clean Architecture in real-world .NET applications with Azure in this guide. Designed around an e-commerce project - Project Odyssey, you’ll design and build every architectural layer, from core domain logic and application orchestration to infrastructure and presentation. This book equips you to apply DDD, CQRS, MediatR, and dependency injection, enabling loosely coupled, testable systems. You’ll build reusable and modular code structures that scale with your application’s complexity and learn how to persist data using EF Core with a code-first approach, managing schema evolution with migrations while keeping infrastructure concerns isolated from your domain logic. Learn how to develop secure systems by integrating Azure External ID, Azure Key Vault, and application-level authentication and authorization. Gain practical experience with Blazor Server, Razor components, and MudBlazor UI, all integrated within a layered architecture. Learn to enforce business logic boundaries, reduce boilerplate with generic request handlers, and use real-world use cases like payment processing and shopping cart management. Whether you're new to Clean Architecture or scaling up enterprise solutions, this book provides the patterns, tools, and mindset to succeed. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase required

Adopting a code-first mindset

For decades, most SQL-based applications have been built using a database-first approach. In this model, the database is designed and managed directly using SQL and database-specific tooling. Tables, columns, constraints, and relationships are defined first, and application code is then written to conform to that schema.

A code-first approach inverts that workflow. Instead of modeling your application around the database, you model the database from your code. Your domain and application models become the source of truth, and the database schema is generated and evolved from those models.

In .NET, EF Core enables this approach by allowing you to define entities and relationships in code, then create and update the database through migrations. This represents a significant shift from how many developers have traditionally worked with SQL-based systems, but when applied with discipline, it can provide lasting benefits to both development velocity and long-term...
