Overview

This project demonstrates a generic repository pattern using Azure Cosmos DB. It provides a reusable and scalable approach to interact with Cosmos DB, using C# and .NET, leveraging the following technologies and concepts:

• Generics for type-safe operations
• Refit for making HTTP requests
• Minimal APIs for lightweight, efficient endpoints
• Polly for resilience and transient fault handling

Stack

• C#: The primary programming language used in the project.
• .NET: The framework used for building and running the application.
• Azure Cosmos DB: The database service used for storing and retrieving data.

Design Pattern

The project follows the Repository Pattern, which abstracts the data access layer and provides a flexible way to manage CRUD operations. This pattern helps to achieve:

• Loose coupling between the data access layer and business logic.
• Easy testing and maintenance.
• Enhanced scalability and code reuse.

Database

Azure Cosmos DB is a globally distributed, multi-model database service. The project uses it for its scalability, low latency, and high availability. The Cosmos DB container is designed to store documents, with each document representing an entity.

Generics

The use of generics allows the repository to handle different types of entities without repeating the same code. This ensures type safety and reduces redundancy.

public class GenericRepository<T> : IGenericRepository<T> where T : class
{
