## ⚡ How FlexBase Works

### **Simple 3-Step Process**

**Step 1: Define Domain Model**

```csharp
public partial class Order : DomainModelBridge
{
    [Required]
    public string CustomerId { get; set; }
    
    [Range(0.01, double.MaxValue)]
    public decimal TotalAmount { get; set; }
}
```

**Step 2: Code Generation** FlexBase automatically generates:

* ✅ REST API Controllers (full CRUD)
* ✅ Database Integration (auto-migrations)
* ✅ Message Bus Integration (events/commands)
* ✅ DTOs & Validation
* ✅ Command/Query Handlers (CQRS)
* ✅ Event Publishers/Subscribers
* ✅ Testing Infrastructure
* ✅ API Documentation (Swagger)
* ✅ Security & Authentication
* ✅ Observability (OpenTelemetry)

**Step 3: Add Business Logic (optional)** Focus only on custom business rules and validation.

**Result:** Production-ready enterprise module in **minutes** vs. **weeks** with traditional approach.

## 🏗️ Key Features & Capabilities

### **1. Enterprise Architecture Patterns Built-In**

✅ **Clean Architecture** - Domain, Application, Infrastructure layers\
✅ **CQRS** - Separate read/write models for independent scaling\
✅ **Event-Driven Architecture** - Loose coupling through events\
✅ **Domain-Driven Design** - Rich domain models with business logic at center\
✅ **Repository Pattern** - Database abstraction with multi-provider support\
✅ **2D Workflow State Management** - Declarative Action × Transition matrix (no if-else spaghetti)

### **2. Layered Customization Architecture**
