ABP Framework is a complete **infrastructure** based on the **ASP.NET Core** to create **modern web applications** and **APIs** by following the software development **best practices** and the **latest technologies**.
- [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Getting-Started) is the easiest way to start a new web application with the ABP Framework.
- [Web Application Development Tutorial](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Tutorials/Part-1) is a complete tutorial to develop a full stack web application.
ABP offers a complete, **modular** and **layered** software architecture based on **[Domain Driven Design](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Domain-Driven-Design)** principles and patterns. It also provides the necessary infrastructure and guiding to [implement this architecture](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Domain-Driven-Design-Implementation-Guide).
ABP Framework is suitable for **[microservice solutions](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Microservice-Architecture)** 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://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Event-Bus), [Background Job System](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Background-Jobs), [Audit Logging](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Audit-Logging), [BLOB Storing](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Blob-Storing), [Data Seeding](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Data-Seeding), [Data Filtering](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Data-Filtering), etc.
ABP also simplifies (and even automates wherever possible) cross cutting concerns and common non-functional requirements like [Exception Handling](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Exception-Handling), [Validation](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Validation), [Authorization](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Authorization), [Localization](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Localization), [Caching](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Caching), [Dependency Injection](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Dependency-Injection), [Setting Management](https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Settings), etc.
