Backend

If your immediate goal is to get the site running, start with the setup guide. If it is already running and merely being stubborn in a more specialized way, skip to the page that matches the job in front of you.

Start Here

• Backend - Get Started for local prerequisites, configuration, and the quickest path to a working backend.
• Backend Development Workflow for branch naming, base branches, and how changes move through environments.
• Coding convention for shared analyzer rules, editor setup, and keeping the codebase consistent without ceremonial debate.
• Integrating Frontend Output for copying frontend markup, handling generated assets, and using cache-busted files correctly.

When To Use Which Guide

This section is split by task rather than by framework theory:

• Use the setup guide when you need a local backend that actually starts.
• Use the workflow guide when you are beginning feature work, fixing a bug, or preparing a release.
• Use the coding convention guide when your editor, analyzers, or CI start disagreeing with your personal sense of artistic freedom.
• Use the integration guide when frontend deliverables need to be wired into Razor views and static assets.
