Clean Architecture is a solution template for ASP.NET Core that provides a structured starting point for building applications following clean architecture principles.
The template addresses the challenge of organizing large ASP.NET Core projects by establishing clear separation of concerns across multiple layers. It implements domain-driven design patterns and enforces architectural boundaries through a layered structure that isolates business logic from infrastructure and presentation concerns. This approach makes it easier to test components independently, maintain code as projects grow, and onboard developers who need to understand the codebase structure quickly.
Teams building enterprise ASP.NET Core applications or those seeking to establish consistent architectural patterns across multiple projects should consider this template. It works well for web APIs and full-stack applications that pair the backend with Angular or React frontends. The template includes integration with Entity Framework and supports ASP.NET Aspire for cloud-native development scenarios. Developers new to clean architecture will find the template useful as a reference implementation, while established teams can adapt it to their specific organizational standards.
The project maintains active engagement with its community through regular updates and refinements to the template structure. Development activity shows consistent attention to keeping dependencies current and incorporating feedback from users applying the template to real-world projects. The maintainers demonstrate responsiveness to issues and pull requests, indicating ongoing commitment to the template's relevance and usability.
