(Deployed live on Render using a PostgreSQL database. For local development, the application utilizes SQL Server with a zero-configuration automated seeding process (EnsureCreated).)
MaxEndLabs is a layered ASP.NET Core (.NET 8) MVC web application that simulates a modern e-commerce platform. It enables users to browse products, explore detailed product variants, manage a personalized shopping cart, and place orders, while administrators can manage the product catalog through full CRUD operations and order control.
The application is built using a clean, multi-layered architecture, separating the presentation layer (MVC), business logic (services), and data access (Entity Framework Core). This structure promotes maintainability, scalability, and testability while demonstrating best practices such as service abstraction, dependency injection, and Fluent API configurations.
The project also integrates ASP.NET Core Identity for authentication and user management, providing a solid foundation for role-based access control and secure user interactions.
