DDD, CQRS and Hexagonal C# reference architecture

This code-base is my interpretation of Command Query Responsibility Segregation, Domain-Driven Design, and Hexagonal/Ports and Adapter.

I've written what I've learned in the following blogs:

• This blog briefly describes the concepts: Implementing DDDomain models, ports & adapters and CQRS with C#
• This blog describes the folder structure, project structure, etc, that's been applied in this repo: DDDomain models, ports & adapters and CQRS reference architecture (C#)
• This blog describes the testing concepts: How to test a microservice.

Don't re-invent things.

The concepts of value-types, aggregates, and entities are the same in every project. Don't waste your time writing the code for these types, yourself. Instead, use packages that provide the base-classes.

This NuGet package contains those base-classes:

Install-Package DomainDrivenDesign.DomainObjects

Check out the source code of the project and read the documentation here.

I've written this code for anyone to use, to get inspiration and to learn new concepts. I learned a lot from other people's code, and this is my way of returning the favor. The day I'm not learning new things anymore is the day I quit. That means this code is not perfect. See anything conceptually incorrect? Please let me know. Please refer to the literature where these concepts are described. That way I can learn new things. Feel free to make a pull request, too!
