AppFactory Framework v10.3.0: Multi-Cloud API Support - Build Once, Deploy Anywhere)

🎉 Release Overview

Version: 10.3.0
Release Date: 2024
Status: ✅ READY FOR RELEASE

This release introduces Multi-Cloud API Support, enabling developers to build serverless and container-based applications that run on AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and ASP.NET Core with a single, unified codebase.

🚀 What's New

Multi-Cloud API Layer

Build once, deploy anywhere! The new multi-cloud API layer provides:

  • ✅ AWS Lambda + API Gateway - Serverless functions with AppFactory.Framework.Api.Aws
  • ✅ Azure Functions v4 - Isolated worker model with AppFactory.Framework.Api.Azure
  • ✅ ASP.NET Core Minimal APIs - Container apps with AppFactory.Framework.Api.AspNetCore
  • ✅ Platform-Agnostic Core - Share business logic across all platforms
  • ✅ Unified Abstractions - Same interfaces, different deployment targets

Key Features

1. Platform-Agnostic Design

// Write your business logic once
public class CreateUserProcessor : IFunctionProcessor<CreateUserCommand, UserDto>
{
    public async Task<Result<UserDto>> Process(CreateUserCommand request, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        // Business logic works everywhere: AWS, Azure, ASP.NET Core
    }
}

2. AWS Lambda Support

public class CreateUserFunction : LambdaFunctionHandlerBase<CreateUserCommand, UserDto>
{
    [LambdaSerializer(typeof(DefaultLambdaJsonSerializer))]
    public async Task<APIGatewayProxyResponse> FunctionHandler(
        APIGatewayProxyRequest request, 
        ILambdaContext context)
    {
        return await Handle(request, context);
    }
}

3. Azure Functions Support

public class CreateUserFunction : AzureFunctionHandlerBase<CreateUserCommand, UserDto>
{
    [Function("CreateUser")]
    public async Task<HttpResponseData> Run(
        [HttpTrigger(AuthorizationLevel.Function, "post", Route = "users")] 
        HttpRequestData req,
        FunctionContext context)
    {
        return await Handle(req, context);
    }
}

4. ASP.NET Core Minimal API Support

// In Program.cs
app.MapCommand<CreateUserCommand, UserDto>("/api/users")
   .WithName("CreateUser")
   .WithOpenApi();

app.MapQuery<GetUserByIdQuery, UserDto>("/api/users/{userId}")
   .WithName("GetUser")
   .WithOpenApi();

Dependency Inversion Principle

  • Business logic depends on abstractions
  • Infrastructure depends on business logic
  • Zero coupling to specific cloud providers
