A simplified insurance sales portal demonstrating microservices architecture with .NET Core, featuring CQRS, service discovery, and asynchronous communication.
ASCLAB .NET Core PoC is an open-source, educational reference implementation of a microservices-based insurance sales portal. It demonstrates how to build a distributed system using .NET Core to handle core insurance workflows like product selection, offer creation, pricing calculation, policy issuance, and agent communication. The project solves the problem of understanding how to architect, integrate, and deploy a complex suite of independent services that communicate synchronously and asynchronously.
.NET developers and software architects looking to learn or validate microservices patterns, CQRS, event-driven communication, and polyglot persistence within a realistic business context. It is particularly valuable for teams planning or transitioning to a distributed systems architecture.
Developers choose this project because it provides a fully functional, multi-service example with detailed accompanying blog posts that explain the architectural decisions and patterns. It showcases the integration of a wide array of specific .NET libraries and infrastructure components (like Ocelot, Eureka, Marten) in one cohesive solution, offering practical insights beyond theoretical tutorials.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Accompanied by a detailed multi-part blog series that explains architectural decisions, CQRS, service discovery, and more, making it an excellent learning tool for distributed systems.
Showcases integration of numerous .NET libraries and tools like MediatR, RabbitMQ, Ocelot, Eureka, and multiple ORMs (EF Core, Marten, NHibernate, Dapper) in a cohesive business domain.
Effectively implements modern patterns using MediatR for command/query separation and RabbitMQ for asynchronous event publishing, demonstrating decoupled service communication.
Based on a practical insurance sales system with workflows like pricing, policy creation, and payments, providing relatable examples beyond abstract tutorials.
Requires manual setup of PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ, ElasticSearch, and Eureka, or Docker orchestration, which can be cumbersome and error-prone for quick experimentation.
The broad integration of many technologies might distract learners focused on a single aspect, such as API gateways or a specific ORM, due to the project's holistic scope.
As an educational PoC, it misses advanced features like comprehensive logging, monitoring, security hardening, or performance tuning needed for real-world deployments.
