Cpnucleo is a sample solution that demonstrates how to implement industry best practices when developing .NET projects. The purpose of this repository is to serve as a learning tool and a reference implementation that covers everything from clean architecture principles and dependency injection to unit testing and containerization.
This repository is designed for:
- Beginners aiming to learn best practices in modern .NET projects.
- Experienced developers looking for a reliable reference implementation.
- Teams seeking to set a standard for coding conventions, project structure, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
Highlights:
- Clean and modular project structure
- Robust error handling and logging
- Comprehensive unit and integration tests
- Docker integration for containerized deployments
- Extensive documentation for ease of onboarding
- Modular Architecture: Clear separation of concerns using layered architecture, domain-driven design, and SOLID principles.
- Extensible Design: Easily extend and customize the solution to fit your specific requirements.
- Robust Error Handling: Integrated logging and detailed exception management.
- Test Coverage: Extensive unit and integration tests ensuring high reliability.
- Containerized Environment: Dockerfile provided for building and running the app in a containerized environment.
- CI/CD Ready: Sample configurations and scripts for automated build, test, and deployment processes.
The solution follows an organized structure that promotes:
- Separation of Concerns: Clear distribution between UI, Business Logic, and Data Access layers.
- Dependency Injection: Decoupled components for easy testing and maintainability.
- Configuration Management: Centralized configuration that adapts to different environments.

- C# & .NET: Primary language and framework.
- Docker: Containerization via provided Dockerfile.
- Entity Framework Core: ORM for database interactions.
- xUnit: For unit testing.
- AutoMapper: Object-to-object mapping.
- Logging Framework: Integrated logging (e.g., Serilog, NLog) for monitoring and troubleshooting.
Before getting started, ensure you have the following installed:
- .NET SDK
- Docker (if you plan to run in a container)
- A code editor or IDE (e.g., Visual Studio Code)
Clone this repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/jonathanperis/cpnucleo.git
cd cpnucleoRestore the NuGet packages and build the solution:
dotnet restore
dotnet buildAll configuration settings are located in the appsettings.json file. Adjust connection strings and other environment-specific settings as needed.
To run the application locally, use the following command:
dotnet run --project WebApiAlternatively, to build and run using Docker, execute:
docker build -t cpnucleo .
docker run -d -p 5000:80 cpnucleoRun all tests using the following command:
dotnet testEnsure that all tests pass and review the detailed test reports generated during the test run.
The project supports multiple deployment strategies including:
- Dockerized Deployment: Use the provided Dockerfile to package and deploy your application.
- Cloud Providers: Suitable for Azure App Services, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and more.
- CI/CD Integration: Sample CI/CD configurations are included to facilitate automated pipelines.
