Welcome to LayeredCraft, a home for thoughtfully crafted, layered .NET libraries and developer tools. Inspired by the layered nature of both software architecture and the humble cipolla (onion), our mission is to create pragmatic, powerful building blocks for modern cloud-native development.
- ⚙️ Infrastructure-first libraries for AWS and serverless development
- 🗄️ Data access tooling and providers for modern cloud-native applications
- 🗣️ Voice-first frameworks for Amazon Alexa skills
- 🔒 Configuration and security providers using AWS-native tools
- 🧪 Developer experience utilities for logging, testing, and observability
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| EntityFrameworkCore.DynamoDb | Entity Framework Core provider for Amazon DynamoDB, bringing familiar EF Core patterns to single-table and cloud-native DynamoDB development |
| DynamoDb.DistributedLock | Distributed locking mechanism using DynamoDB with a clean .NET API |
| AlexaVoxCraft | Modular framework for building Alexa skills using MediatR and clean architecture |
| AWSSecretsManager.Provider | Configuration provider backed by AWS Secrets Manager for .NET |
