.NET 10 Modular Framework — Overview

Granit is a modular .NET 10 framework providing production-ready building blocks for enterprise applications. Each module follows the same layered anatomy (abstractions, EF Core, endpoints, providers) and wires into the dependency injection system via [DependsOn].

How the catalog is organized

Section titled “How the catalog is organized”
  • Framework layers (Core, Data, Security, API, Infrastructure, Operations) — the horizontal concerns every application uses, shipped with the framework core.
  • Building Blocks — self-contained feature modules included with the framework: Workflow, Data Exchange, Templating, Timeline, QueryEngine, Indexing, and more.
  • Business Features — higher-level domain modules (Parties, Documents, Reference Data, Analytics) maintained in their own repository and versioned alongside the framework.
  • Product verticals — IoT, CMS, SaaS & Commerce, AI, and MCP each get a dedicated section.
