EShopOnDapr
eShopOnDapr is a reference architecture for building distributed .NET microservices. It demonstrates how to implement cloud-native application patterns by utilizing sidecar processes to handle infrastructure concerns, allowing individual services to remain decoupled from the underlying environment.
The project provides a practical implementation of service-to-service communication, state management, and asynchronous messaging. By using a sidecar-based approach, it offloads tasks like service discovery and state synchronization, enabling independent services to interact reliably across distributed network boundaries.
The architecture includes a centralized gateway to aggregate data and coordinate complex workflows across backend services. It is designed for containerized deployment, ensuring consistent execution across local development machines, cluster orchestrators, and cloud hosting platforms.
