ardalis/CleanArchitecture

This system is a .NET 10-based application template implementing Clean Architecture with a Vertical Slice and CQRS structure. It provides a complete, functional example of a domain-driven design, featuring aggregates for Contributors and Projects with associated to-do items. The architecture includes a web API layer using FastEndpoints, an infrastructure layer with Entity Framework Core and email services, and a comprehensive test suite covering unit, integration, and functional scenarios.

About this page

  • The description of this project is derived from its own commit history, not from its README.
  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 5 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit a064d0b369 — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.19. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
