Overview

Obelisk is an impressive WebAPI template designed for ASP.Net, and it has successfully supported numerous One Beyond projects since its early inception in 2018. This template not only simplifies the development of ASP.Net MVC-based applications but also incorporates insights and improvements from earlier versions dating back to 2014. With a focus on accelerating delivery, Obelisk is equipped with core libraries and scaffolding utilities, making it a worthwhile consideration for developers looking to streamline their project workflows.

The framework's support for a modern version of .NET and easy setup makes it accessible for developers. Moreover, its architecture is designed with efficiency in mind by utilizing Azure queues for dispatching domain events. This structure, combined with practical features, promises to enhance productivity for teams working on single-page applications (SPA) and those performing end-to-end tests.
