Carcass is a free, open-source, community-driven infrastructure framework built on .NET 9 for creating modern, scalable applications.
Carcass offers a wide range of features designed to accelerate application development and ensure maintainability.
Carcass follows a modular design, allowing applications to be composed flexibly with independent, reusable components.
Built for modern cloud environments, Carcass enables efficient serverless execution, distributed computing, and seamless scalability.
Carcass is designed around DDD principles, providing a structured approach to software design, focusing on business logic and clear domain boundaries.
Separates command and query responsibilities, improving scalability, maintainability, and performance in data-driven applications.
Stores all state changes as a sequence of events, ensuring immutability, auditability, and support for event-driven architectures.
Comprehensive multitenancy support allows seamless development of SaaS applications, enabling tenant isolation and shared resources.
Every system change is logged to provide traceability, accountability, and insights into application behavior over time.
Carcass includes real-time capabilities built with SignalR, enabling instant updates and interactive experiences.
Carcass includes built-in authentication, authorization, and data protection, with support for Firebase Authentication, ensuring robust security measures.
To install Carcass.* and its dependencies via the .NET Core CLI, execute the following command:
dotnet add package Carcass.*To install Carcass.* and its dependencies via NuGet, execute the following command:
Install-Package Carcass.*To pack and publish NuGet packages locally, use the provided NuGetPackAndPublish.ps1 script. This script automates the process of building, packing, and adding NuGet packages to your local NuGet repository.
-
Open a PowerShell terminal at the root of the project.
-
Run the following command:
./scripts/NuGetPackAndPublish.ps1 -V '<Version>'
Replace
<Version>with the package version (e.g.,'1.0.0','1.0.0-beta1'). Note the single quotes around the version. -
The packaged files will be saved in the
nupkgsdirectory and added to the local NuGet repository (C:/NuGet/packagesby default).
An example of using the Carcass framework with Azure Functions can be found in the Carcass.Sample.AzureFunctions project. This sample demonstrates how Carcass can be implemented with Azure's serverless computing model, including features like dependency injection, Entity Framework Core, Firebase Authentication, and the usage of Azure's FunctionContext accessor for working with the function's execution context.
