Serenity Application Platform

What is the Serenity Platform

Serenity is an ASP.NET Core / TypeScript application platform designed to simplify and shorten the development of data-centric business applications with a service-based architecture.

It aims to make development easier while reducing maintenance costs by avoiding boiler-plate code, reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks, and applying best software design practices.
