**Note for Pull Requests (PRs)**: We accept pull request from the community. When doing it, please do it onto the **DEV branch** which is the consolidated work-in-progress branch. Do not request it onto **master** branch.
Do you want to be up-to-date on .NET Architecture guidance and reference apps like eShopOnContainers? --> Subscribe by "WATCHING" this new GitHub repo: https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/News
eShopOnContainers is updated to .NET Core 3.0 "wave" of technologies. Not just compilation but also new recommended code in EF Core, ASP.NET Core, and other new related versions and a several significant changes.
> **IMPORTANT:** The current state of this sample application is **BETA**, because we are constantly evolving towards newly released technologies. Therefore, many areas could be improved and change significantly while refactoring the current code and implementing new features. Feedback with improvements and pull requests from the community will be highly appreciated and accepted.
This reference application is cross-platform at the server and client side, thanks to .NET Core services capable of running on Linux or Windows containers depending on your Docker host, and to Xamarin for mobile apps running on Android, iOS or Windows/UWP plus any browser for the client web apps.
The architecture proposes a microservice oriented architecture implementation with multiple autonomous microservices (each one owning its own data/db) and implementing different approaches within each microservice (simple CRUD vs. DDD/CQRS patterns) using Http as the communication protocol between the client apps and the microservices and supports asynchronous communication for data updates propagation across multiple services based on Integration Events and an Event Bus (a light message broker, to choose between RabbitMQ or Azure Service Bus, underneath) plus other features defined at the [roadmap](https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers/wiki/Roadmap).
You can find the related reference **Guide/eBook** focusing on **architecting and developing containerized and microservice based .NET Applications** (download link available below) which explains in detail how to develop this kind of architectural style (microservices, Docker containers, Domain-Driven Design for certain microservices) plus other simpler architectural styles, like monolithic apps that can also live as Docker containers.
There are also additional eBooks focusing on Containers/Docker lifecycle (DevOps, CI/CD, etc.) with Microsoft Tools, already published plus an additional eBook focusing on Enterprise Apps Patterns with Xamarin.Forms.
You can download them and start reviewing these Guides/eBooks here:
However, we encourage you to download and review the [.NET Microservices: Architecture for Containerized .NET Applications e-book](https://aka.ms/microservicesebook) because the architectural styles, patterns, and technologies explained in the guide use this reference application when explaining most implementations, so you'll understand the context, design and decisions taken in the current architecture and internal designs much better.
Read the planned [Roadmap](https://github.com/dotnet-architecture/eShopOnContainers/wiki/Roadmap) within the Wiki for further info about possible new implementations and provide feedback at the [ISSUES section](https://github.com/dotnet/eShopOnContainers/issues) if you'd like to see any specific scenario implemented or improved. Also, feel free to discuss on any current issue.
