We build .NET 8 platforms that your team can own, extend, and run.
Our .NET development team builds APIs, enterprise backends, and SaaS platforms on Azure. We use .NET 8 LTS, clean architecture, and 87% test coverage. You get a codebase your engineers can read, modify, and ship without calling us.
Every month your team runs .NET Framework 4.x, you pay the tax in slow deploys, security risk, and engineers who dread the codebase.

The difference between a .NET Framework codebase and a .NET 8 platform is not just syntax. It is deploy time, test coverage, container support, and how fast your team can add a feature without touching code they do not own.

Four things you own on the day we hand over the keys.
.NET 8 Minimal APIs handle more requests with less memory than any previous release. Your platform runs on the current LTS runtime, so every performance gain Microsoft ships in .NET goes directly into your system.
Cloud-native deployment options →JWT authentication, role-based access control, and Microsoft Identity Platform are built into the architecture from the start. For regulated industries, we deliver SOC 2-ready audit logging at the infrastructure layer, so your compliance review is clean.
Every project uses a 4-layer structure: Presentation, Application (CQRS with MediatR), Domain, and Infrastructure. Your engineers add a feature in one layer without touching the others. Onboarding a new developer takes days, not weeks.
Your team inherits a test suite that catches bugs before they reach production. Every handler, service, and repository ships with xUnit unit tests. Integration tests run against real database containers so you know the tests reflect production behavior.
QA and test automation services →USAGO ran a guns and ammo dropshipping operation on spreadsheets and manual emails. Thirteen weeks later, one .NET platform handled all of it.
We mapped every manual workflow USAGO used. Domain model, data schema, and API surface documented. Architecture decisions recorded and signed off before a single line of code was written.
ASP.NET Core backend built and tested with order management, inventory tracking, and invoicing modules. Supplier API integration layer scaffolded and connected to the first supplier endpoint.
All supplier integrations completed. Secure authentication and role-based authorization built for regulated-industry compliance. Dropshipping workflows automated end to end.
End-to-end test suite completed. Load tests validated at peak order volume. Zero-downtime deploy to production. Full runbooks and API documentation handed to the USAGO team.

USAGO operates in the regulated firearms and ammunition market. They needed one system to run multichannel order management, inventory, dropshipping, invoicing, and supplier coordination. Manual spreadsheets and email chains could not scale.
Every tool in our .NET 8 stack, and why we chose it over the alternative.
C# 12 is our primary language for all .NET projects. Primary constructors reduce boilerplate. Collection expressions clean up initialization code. Nullable reference types catch null-pointer errors at compile time, before they reach production. We write modern, idiomatic C# that a new team member can read without a guide.
Minimal APIs replace the traditional controller pattern with route-based endpoint definitions. Startup code shrinks from 200+ lines to under 30. The middleware pipeline is simpler, so the app starts faster and uses less memory. We default to Minimal APIs for all new .NET 8 builds.
EF Core 8 with Azure SQL or PostgreSQL. Code-first migrations manage your schema. Compiled queries handle high-traffic paths. We separate read and write models: EF Core for writes, Dapper or raw SQL for complex reads. Your database does not become a performance bottleneck.
Azure Container Apps host the .NET runtime. Azure SQL or PostgreSQL for data. Azure Service Bus for messaging between services. Azure Key Vault for secrets. Azure Monitor and Application Insights for observability and distributed tracing. The full Azure stack integrates with .NET out of the box.
Blazor lets your team stay in C# for UI work. Blazor Server fits internal tools and admin panels. Blazor WebAssembly fits SPAs that need client-side logic without a JavaScript framework. We are honest: when a richer UI ecosystem is needed, we recommend React or Next.js instead.
SignalR provides real-time, bidirectional communication over WebSockets with automatic fallback. Used for live dashboards, notification systems, and collaborative tools. Azure SignalR Service scales multi-server deployments without sticky sessions, so your real-time features work under load.
Each feature in your application lives in its own handler class. Commands change state. Queries return data. Logging, validation, and authorization run as pipeline behaviors, not scattered through controllers. Adding a feature does not break the ones already shipping.
Every .NET 8 project ships with a multi-stage Dockerfile. Build stage compiles and publishes. Runtime stage uses the minimal .NET image. No IIS. No Windows Server. The final image deploys to Azure Container Apps, AKS, or any Kubernetes environment.
