Build Software Like a Bag of Marbles, Not a Castle of LEGO
summary
Demonstrates a plugin approach that lets feature assemblies be dropped into or removed from a .NET deployment, using ASP.NET Core application parts, onion architecture, IoC and Entity Framework to keep the core reference-free; a POC succeeds and the code upgrades to net6 easily. Key techniques include polymorphic deserialization for inherited payloads, a scope service-locator to resolve generic plugin logic at runtime, and per-plugin migrations via FluentMigrator so 30% prototype/70% production churn no longer pollutes the main codebase.
