[ABP Framework](https://abp.io/) is a complete **infrastructure** based on **ASP.NET Core** that creates **modern web applications** and **APIs** by following the software development **best practices** and the **latest technologies**.
[ABP](https://abp.io/) offers an **opinionated architecture** to build enterprise software solutions with **best practices** on top of the **.NET** and the **ASP.NET Core** platforms. It provides the fundamental infrastructure, production-ready startup templates, pre-built application modules, UI themes, tooling, guides and documentation to implement that architecture properly and **automate the details** and repetitive works as much as possible.
ABP offers a complete, **modular** and **layered** software architecture based on **[Domain Driven Design](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/architecture/domain-driven-design)** principles and patterns. It also provides the necessary infrastructure and guidance to [implement this architecture](https://abp.io/books/implementing-domain-driven-design).
ABP offers a complete architectural model to build modern enterprise software solutions. Here, the fundamental architectural structures offered and first-class supported by ABP:
ABP Framework is suitable for **[microservice solutions](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/architecture/microservices)** as well as monolithic applications.
There are a lot of features provided by the ABP Framework to achieve real-world scenarios easier, like [Event Bus](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/infrastructure/event-bus), [Background Job System](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/infrastructure/background-jobs), [Audit Logging](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/infrastructure/audit-logging), [BLOB Storing](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/infrastructure/blob-storing), [Data Seeding](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/infrastructure/data-seeding), [Data Filtering](https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/infrastructure/data-filtering), etc.
