Frequently Asked Questions

Lino is a CLI for generating modern applications in .NET.

It automates architecture, modules, APIs, authentication, frontend and infrastructure with a focus on Clean Architecture, DDD and CQRS.

Lino serves to reduce the repetitive work of starting and evolving .NET applications.

Instead of manually assembling the solution, layers, endpoints, authentication and initial deployment, the team starts from a ready-made base and focuses on business rules.

Lino is a code generator for .NET, not a closed framework.

After generation, the project belongs to the team and can be modified without mandatory dependence on the tool.

The main focus of Lino is deterministic generation based on templates and rules.

This helps maintain predictability, architectural consistency, and less noise than AI-dependent flows.

Lino was created by Eduardo Tolino to increase productivity and standardize the architecture of modern applications in .NET.

Yes.

The generated projects use common patterns in enterprise software, such as Clean Architecture, CQRS, DDD, JWT, Docker and integration with pipelines.

The main difference of Lino is to accelerate the creation of .NET applications with a consistent architectural base from the first command.

It combines code generation, modular organization, APIs, frontend, authentication, events, and infrastructure into a single flow.
