Zen is a platform-independent .NET Core middleware that simplifies the implementation of data-driven, API-enabled apps.

As it name implies, it takes inspiration from the Zen practice:

  • Do one thing at a time, deliberately and completely.
  • Think about what is necessary.
  • Smile and serve others.

Projects are born out of an idea and evolve through well-known stages: What is born as a proof-of-concept can eventually grow to a multi-layered ecosystem after several iterations, and not all changes are straightforward.

Zen helps you along the way. Several features are provided out-of-the-box: ORM, Caching, REST, Containerization, environment isolation - the list goes on; It takes care of the moving parts, allowing you to focus on your what's important.
