Inventory Management API

Overview

This project is a generic inventory management API built with ASP.NET Core. It provides endpoints to manage products, track stock levels, and organize items into categories — a foundation that can be adapted for warehouses, retail, or any system that needs stock tracking.

I focused on clean structure: a service layer for business logic, repositories for data access, and well-defined models. The design prioritizes readability and extensibility so new features (orders, suppliers, reporting) can be added without rewriting core logic.

Key features

• Full CRUD operations for products, categories, and stock levels
• Clean layered architecture separating concerns
• Reusable domain model applicable to different inventory scenarios

Outcome

A well-structured REST API demonstrating solid backend fundamentals and domain modeling.

What I learned

• Designing a generic model upfront saves refactoring when requirements expand.
• Entity Framework migrations keep schema changes traceable and reversible.
