ABP Documentation
ABP Framework offers an opinionated architecture to build enterprise software solutions with best practices on top of the .NET and the ASP.NET Core platforms. It provides the fundamental infrastructure, production-ready startup templates, modules, themes, tooling, guides and documentation to implement that architecture properly and automate the details and repetitive works as much as possible.
Getting Started
- Quick Start is a single-part, quick-start tutorial to build a simple application with the ABP Framework. Start with this tutorial if you want to quickly understand how ABP works.
- Getting Started guide can be used to create and run ABP based solutions with different options and details.
- Web Application Development Tutorial is a complete tutorial to develop a full stack web application with all aspects of a real-life solution.

Exploring the Documentation
ABP has a comprehensive documentation that not only explains the ABP Framework, but also includes guides and samples to help you on creating a maintainable solution by introducing and discussing common software development principle and best practices.
Architecture
ABP 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 the ABP Framework.
- Microservice Architecture document explains how ABP helps to create a microservice solution.
- Multi-Tenancy document introduces multi-tenancy and explores the ABP multi-tenancy infrastructure.
Infrastructure
There are a lot of features provided by the ABP Framework to achieve real world scenarios easier, like Event Bus, Background Job System, Audit Logging, BLOB Storing, Data Seeding, Data Filtering.
Cross Cutting Concerns
ABP 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.
Application Modules
Application Modules provides pre-built application functionalities;
- Account: Provides UI for the account management and allows user to login/register to the application.
- Identity: Manages organization units, roles, users and their permissions, based on the Microsoft Identity library.
- IdentityServer: Integrates to IdentityServer4.
- Tenant Management: Manages tenants for a multi-tenant (SaaS) application.
See the Application Modules document for all pre-built modules.
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.
