A .NET Core template for generating service backends following Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design principles.
Caju is a .NET Core project template that generates service backends following Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design principles. It provides a structured foundation for building evolvable and maintainable applications, particularly microservices, by pre-configuring architectural layers and patterns.
.NET developers and teams building backend services or microservices who want to adopt Clean Architecture and DDD without starting from scratch.
Developers choose Caju to accelerate backend development with a proven architectural template, ensuring consistency, maintainability, and adherence to best practices in .NET projects.

Generates projects with pre-configured layers (Domain, Application, Infrastructure, Web) based on Clean Architecture, ensuring clear separation of concerns and consistent structure from the outset.
Encourages Domain-Driven Design by modeling around business domains, which enhances maintainability and aligns code with complex business logic, as highlighted in the README's focus on evolvability.
Saves development time by providing a ready-to-use template with common patterns, allowing teams to quickly scaffold backend services and focus on implementing features rather than architecture.
Offers multiple use case suites (full, basic, readonly) to tailor generated projects to specific needs, providing flexibility in scaffolding based on project requirements.
The enforced Clean Architecture and DDD structure can be excessive for simple applications, leading to boilerplate code and complexity that might slow down development for straightforward projects.
Requires prior understanding of Clean Architecture and DDD concepts; developers unfamiliar with these patterns may struggle to customize or extend the template effectively, as the README assumes this knowledge.
Only supports .NET Core 3.0 and above, making it incompatible with older .NET Framework projects, which limits its use in environments with legacy dependencies.
