Checked 11 Nov 2026 on GitHub.

Overview

ABP is an application framework on top of ASP.NET Core that supplies infrastructure for domain-driven design, modular monoliths, microservices and multi-tenancy. It ships startup templates, pre-built modules (Identity, OpenIddict, CMS Kit, SaaS, Account), and tooling: ABP CLI, ABP Studio and ABP Suite for page generation. It is not an AI project; it is a general .NET business-application framework.

Who it is for: .NET teams building multi-tenant or modular enterprise web apps

Strengths

Built-in event bus, background jobs, audit logging, BLOB storing and data seeding
First-class multi-tenancy, modularity and DDD support
Pre-built modules for identity, OpenIddict, CMS and tenant management
Active: release on 2026-11-03, commit on 2026-11-09

Weaknesses

No AI features described; poor fit for an AI-focused starter list
Several modules and tools (Suite, Account, SaaS) link to Pro editions
Opinionated architecture locks you into ABP conventions and .NET
LGPL-3.0 license has linking and distribution obligations

What it needs

C#
Needs .NET, ASP.NET Core

How to choose

Verify the AI part is real code (model calls, usage metering), not only editor config files.
Usage-based billing matters for AI costs; check whether metering is included or left to you.
Weigh the framework lock-in (Wasp, tRPC, Django) against what your team knows.
