This repository is a learning project aimed at exploring technologies (ASP.NET Core, EF Core, PostgreSQL, Serilog, validation/mediator patterns, containerization, etc.). It does not strive for perfect architecture or production-grade code quality. Decisions are intentionally optimized for clarity and experimentation rather than completeness or robustness.
