The next sections highlight important VCP components and provides links to related documents.

The Framework

Architecture

VCP offers a complete, modular and layered software architecture based on Domain Driven Design principles and patterns. It also provides the necessary infrastructure to implement this architecture.

• See the Modularity document to understand the module system.
• Implementing Domain Driven Design book is an ultimate guide for who want to understand and implement the DDD with VCP.
• Microservice Architecture document explains how VCP helps to create a microservice solution.
• Multi-Tenancy document introduces multi-tenancy and explores the VCP multi-tenancy infrastructure.

Infrastructure

There are a lot of features provided by VCP to achieve real world scenarios easier, like Event Bus, Background Job System, Audit Logging, BLOB Storing, Data Seeding, Data Filtering.

Cross Cutting Concerns

VCP also simplifies (and even automates wherever possible) cross cutting concerns and common non-functional requirements like Exception Handling, Validation, Authorization, Localization, Caching, Dependency Injection, Setting Management, etc.

Tooling

VCP Platform provides tooling to help you in your daily development.

VCP CLI

VCP CLI is a command-line tool to create new solutions and automate the things with your VCP based solutions.

Startup Templates

The Startup templates are pre-built Visual Studio solution templates. You can create your own solution based on these templates to immediately start your development.

Application Modules

Application Modules provides pre-built application modules those implement common business requirements. See the Application Modules document for all pre-built modules.

UI Themes
