Samples

Seven runnable demos. The two Hero Samples show what makes Stratara different — tamper-evident streams and tenant-aware encryption — in ~100 lines each. The five Learning Path samples walk through the core CQRS / Event Sourcing / Outbox / Saga / ASP.NET wiring in order.

All samples share the same bank-account / money-transfer domain so you don't have to re-learn the problem space for each one.

Hero Samples

The why-Stratara demos. Self-contained, zero-dependency, designed to make the point in under a minute.

Sample	Concept	Read
TamperProof	Hash-chained event streams catch direct-DB tampering	5–10 min
Encryption	[EncryptData] with tenant-bound AAD prevents cross-tenant decryption	5–10 min

Learning Path

End-to-end runnable demos along a CQRS-→-Event-Sourcing-→-Saga progression. Each one builds on the prior.

#	Sample	Concept	Lines (approx)	Read
1	CQRS Basics	IMediator + ICommand / IQuery + handler discovery	~200	5–10 min
2	Event Sourced	Event-sourced aggregate + projection (read/write separation)	~250	10–15 min
3	Outbox + Worker	Outbox + message bus + two background workers (async dispatch)	~300	15–20 min
4	Money-Transfer Saga	Saga / process manager — one command fans out into two via the outbox	~330	15–20 min
5	ASP.NET Core API	HTTP minimal-API endpoints → mediator wiring	~250	10–15 min

Samples 2–4 build conceptually on the one before; sample 5 is parallel to 1 and can be read at any point.

Each sample is self-contained code (no shared "Stratara.Sample.Common" project) — duplication between samples is intentional so each one reads from top to bottom without jumping to a shared library. Every sample is smoke-tested in CI via tests/Stratara.Samples.SmokeTests/ — releases ship only after each sample's stdout has been asserted line-for-line.
