# .NET Backend Development Patterns

Write C# backends the way the ecosystem expects

## What this does

You are writing a backend in C# and want to follow the patterns the ecosystem already settled on rather than working them out yourself. This covers the everyday pieces: async code, dependency injection, database access, configuration, caching, and tests. Reach for it while building, or when reviewing someone else's C#.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Build an API in .NET
- Get a code review on C#
- Design a backend architecture

## Questions

### Is .NET Backend Development Patterns safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of .NET Backend Development Patterns and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit ece811f23310, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/dotnet-backend-patterns.
