    }
}

public class PingCommand : IRequest<Pong> {} // Command

public class PingCommandHandler : IRequestHandler<PingCommand, Pong>
{
    public async Task Handle(PingCommand request, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

        return await Task.FromResult(new Pong(DateTime.UtcNow)).ConfigureAwait(false);
    } 
}

public class Program 
{
    public async Task Main(string[] args)
    {
        var builder = new ContainerBuilder();
        // this will add all your Request- and Notificationhandler
        // that are located in the same project as your program-class
        builder.AddMediatR(typeof(Program).Assembly);
        
        var container = builder.Build();
        
        var mediator = container.Resolve<IMediator>();
