ABP.IO is a comprehensive platform that includes the open-source ABP Framework based on ASP.NET Core and its commercial solution designed on the .NET ecosystem. ABP.IO's purpose is to provide a robust infrastructure for developers to create modern web applications efficiently. As ABP.IO Core Team, we came to this day and are excited for the upcoming days thanks to the ever expanding ABP Community members.

We are grateful for ABP Community including the team members who put effort into making ABP what it is today and the community members for all their amazing support. On top of the achievements in 2022 we summed up in ABP Year Review 2022 Wrap Up blog post for 2022, we, as ABP, achieved even more great successes in 2023 with and thanks to all of you ABP Community members. This year, we remained transparent and committed to our values for trying to help the developers build their web applications efficiently with ABP Framework based on ASP.NET Core.

We will look into ABP.IO Platform 2023 milestones and wrap the year up in this blog post. Before we hop on to the ABP's recap, we'd like to mention the major highlights in .NET ecosystem which is the release of .NET 8. In ABP, it's worth mentioning before all that 2023 was the year we celebrated the 10th Year of ABP and the first year ever we organized a full conference-ABP .NET Conf'23! Let's have a look at them and more.

Anniversary

This year was a special year in which we celebrated the 10th Birthday of the ABP! Looking back, a decade passed till the very first day of the ABP journey. Words are simply not nearly enough to describe our excitement and how surprised we are since it now feels like a blink aside from all the bitter and sweet moments of our journey. Take a look at the milestones we overcame with you and how the last decade went in Celebrating ABP's DDD: A Decade Dedicated to Development. We dedicated a full 3-day weekend to celebrate the 10th birthday of ABP with our team. Take a peak at the 1-minute-video from that weekend. In addition to our celebration, we created ABP Framework swag shop that includes a limited-time swag items that have ABP's special 10th Year logo on them. If you would like to get your Limited-time ABP 10th Year Swag from

It was the 7th birthday of Volosoft, the company behind the ABP platform. We are proud and excited for the many years to come with the amazing team and many more valuable people to come and join to our team!

Events

We give significant importance to giving back .NET and the overall software development industry. This year was our most active year in the events part of it, because, we not only sponsored to events this year but also organized one.

In addition to organizing our own .NET event, we, of course, also sponsored 5 events in 2023. Here is the list of the events we sponsored:

Community Talks

ABP Community Talks is the monthly live event where we gather to talk and share ideas about the latest news about ABP Framework and overall .NET-related topics in an hour with ABP Community members and a spontaneous appearance of famous .NET names such as Jon Galloway, Joseph Guadagno, Steve Sanderson, etc. This year, we organized 8 ABP Community Talks episodes about several topics and shared some insights while being interactive with the ABP Community. Watch ABP Community Talks from its YouTube Playlist and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube Channel and open the alerts to learn about the upcoming episodes. While you are at it, you are more than welcome to take a look at the resourceful videos we published, as well. 🙂

NuGet Downloads

NuGet is a package manager designed specifically for the .NET ecosystem. It simplifies the process of creating and consuming packages, thanks to the NuGet client tools. By using these tools, developers can easily manage their project dependencies and improve their workflow. In 2023, ABP Core NuGet package reached more than 22.3 million of downloads! On the other hand, overall Volosoft NuGet Profile reached almost a billion downloads!

Thank you all for your interest and support towards ABP and overall Volosoft Packages.

ABP Community Posts

ABP Community is a hub for ABP Framework, .NET and software development. There are articles, videos, events and many more within ABP Community resources.

In 2023, ABP Framework got more than 2850 commits from 37 different contributors. Your hard work and effort worth a million thanks, if nothing! We are grateful for each and every one of you and embrace more ten thousands of stars we will gain together with more hundreds of ABP Framework Contributors in the near future.

ABP.IO Platform Version Releases

ABP Framework released 5 versions from 7.1 to 8.0 in 2023. You can check the release logs from ABP Framework Release Logs.

The most important milestone in these releases is that we upgraded ABP Framework to .NET 8 in ABP v8.0.

We were preparing ABP Studio as a whole new launch for more than a year. 2023 was the year we matured it enough to finally share it with you and share our excitement with all of you! It was a thrill for our Co-Founder Halil İbrahim Kalkan to mention about it for the first time in ABP .NET Conf'23 with his talk on Kubernetes Integrated Microservice Development with ABP Studio. Then, we prepared ABP Studio's dedicated page and shared its details for you to check out and test it out in the Beta version which is AVAILABLE NOW.
