# Project Cachara - Social Media Platform
Project Cachara is a **social media platform** designed using **.NET Core 8** and a **Microservices Architecture** to simulate real-world engineering challenges.
This project was initiated to:
✅ Practice **Domain-Driven Design (DDD)** principles
✅ Experiment with **asynchronous communication**, **data storage**, and **enterprise patterns**
✅ Develop a scalable and maintainable application following modern software design practices
Built with a strong focus on **clean code**, **scalability**, and **observability**, this project leverages tools like **Azure Service Bus**, **RabbitMQ**, and **Hangfire**.
