#	Name	Status	When to Use (recommendation)	Docs
SMA	Simple Monolith Architecture	🟢	CRUD apps, internal tools, MVPs	README.md
BNLA	Basic N-Layer Architecture	🟢	Small to medium projects, learning/prototyping, simple CRUD apps with limited business complexity.	README.md
CNLA	Complex N-Layer Architecture	🟢	Enterprise applications, large teams, long-term maintainability. N-Layer Architecture with Unit of Work and Repository design patterns. It also includes an Angular project.	README.md
VSA	Vertical Slice Architecture	🟡	APIs with many independent endpoints, microservices, modular monoliths.	README.md
CNA	Clean Architecture	🟠	Domain-rich applications, teams prioritizing testability and strict dependency rules.	README.md

🟠 = Planned, 🟡 = In Progress, 🟢 = Finished, 🔴 = Blocked/Unfinished

1.1 Recommended Learning Path

#	Architecture	Note
1	SMA	-
2	BNLA	Simpler than CNLA

The other architecture will be listed once they are finished.
