The Cost Of
The Cost Of…
When we talk about the cost of something, it’s tempting to focus only on the dollar amount that appears on a receipt or an invoice. In reality, the true cost stretches far beyond simple financial outlays; it permeates our time, health, environment, and even future opportunities.
1. The Financial Footprint
Direct Expenses: Salaries, materials, utilities, and marketing are the most visible components. These can be controlled through budgeting, bulk purchasing, or outsourcing.
Indirect Costs: Overhead such as office space, equipment depreciation, and administrative support often get absorbed into "general expenses" but can account for up to 30% of total costs.
2. The Time Investment
Every minute spent on a task has an opportunity cost. In an era where employees juggle multiple projects, the hidden cost of multitasking—mistakes, rework, and burnout—can dwarf tangible monetary figures.
3. Human Capital
Employee turnover can be catastrophic: recruiting, hiring, and training new staff may cost five to ten times a worker’s annual salary. Moreover, institutional knowledge loss hampers productivity for years.
4. Risk and Compliance
Non‑compliance fines range from the modest (hundreds) to the astronomical (millions). The reputational damage of a scandal can erase brand equity overnight—an intangible but decisive factor.
5. Strategic Leverage
Investment in data analytics, process automation, or talent development yields high‑payoff returns: improved customer satisfaction, cost reductions, and agility in responding to market shifts.
Conclusion
The cost framework is more than an accounting exercise; it is a decision‑making compass. By quantifying the multifaceted impacts of inefficiencies and risks—and juxtaposing them against strategic investment opportunities—organizations can align resources with business objectives, prioritize interventions that unlock value, and safeguard against losses that erode growth.

| Presentation |
| Layer (Web UI) |
+----------------+
Explanation
The Presentation layer is what the user interacts with.
All business rules live in the Service layer.
The Data layer contains only persistence code; it should not contain
business logic.
So, when a user places an order you call `OrderService.placeOrder(...)` from the UI.
The service performs all validations, updates the inventory, writes the order to the
database and returns a result – no business rules live in the data access classes.
This is the standard layered architecture used in most enterprise applications.
Any deviation (e.g., putting business logic into DAOs) violates separation of
concerns and makes the code harder to maintain.
> In general, where should I place my business logic? The data layer or the UI layer?
In a typical three-tier application, the business logic sits in its own tier, between the presentation/UI tier (web, desktop, mobile, API) and the persistence/data tier. But you do not need a separate "tier" for your business logic if you're using an architectural style that doesn't require it.
For example, in a typical ASP.NET MVC application, you might have:
Controllers, which are part of the presentation layer
Domain services, which contain business rules and orchestrate domain objects to accomplish tasks
Domain objects (entities, value objects), which represent state and behavior of the real world domain that your application is about.
Infrastructure, which implements data access.
In this example, you don't have a separate tier for your business logic. The service layer is an optional layer on top of the domain model. This style is typically used in ASP.NET MVC or Web API applications.
If you use DDD (Domain Driven Design) with an Onion Architecture or Clean Architecture, you would have layers:
Presentation: UI
Application: Services that orchestrate tasks
Domain: Entities, value objects, domain services.
Infrastructure: Data access, external services
In this style, your business logic lives in the Domain layer. The application layer just calls domain objects. You do not have a separate 'service' layer for business logic.
If you want to separate your business logic into a separate 'services', you might put them in a Service layer inside the domain or within the Application layer. But typically, you should keep your business logic in the Domain (entities and services) because that is the core of your application.
Thus, the recommended approach: Put business logic in the Domain layer as part of Entities/Domain Services; put any infrastructure-specific code into the Infrastructure layer; use an Application Service or Controller to orchestrate calls. You might also have a separate domain service for complex operations.
Therefore, the best practice is not to duplicate logic in multiple places but to keep it in the domain (or domain services). Use application services as orchestration only.
In summary: Put business logic into Domain Services and Entities; put persistence logic into Repository/Infrastructure; use Controllers or Application Services for orchestrating. So you wouldn't have separate layers duplicating logic.
Thus, answer: The recommended approach is to keep the business logic in the domain layer (entities, value objects, domain services). Persistence code goes into the infrastructure layer via repositories. The application layer contains orchestration and integration but no core business rules. This ensures separation of concerns and avoids duplication. In short: domain = business logic; infrastructure = persistence; application = orchestration. So you don't duplicate logic across layers. And you keep each layer only responsible for its own concerns.
Wrap up.Bottom‑line
Domain (Entities, Value Objects, Domain Services) – holds the true business rules.
Infrastructure (Repositories, EF Core, DbContext, etc.) – knows how to persist or retrieve data, but only calls the domain objects.
Application (Use‑Cases/Services, DTOs, AutoMapper, MediatR, etc.) – glues everything together: it receives a request, orchestrates a set of domain operations, maps inputs/outputs, and returns a response.
The only thing that can "do" business logic is the domain layer.
Everything else must be thin wrappers or orchestrators that pass data to/from the domain.

Key Points
Domain First: Start by modeling the business domain. Define entities, value objects, and domain services before considering persistence or external dependencies.
Clean Architecture Layers:
- Core (Domain) – No references to infrastructure or UI.
- Application Services – Orchestrate domain logic; may use interfaces defined in core.
- Infrastructure – Implement repository interfaces, third‑party APIs. Keep it thin and isolated from the rest of the system.
Testing: Unit tests should target the core/domain layer first, using mocks or stubs for dependencies. Integration tests can verify the wiring between layers.
3️⃣ Common Pitfalls & How to Avoid Them
|
| Pitfall | Why it Happens | Fix |
|---|----------|----------------|-----|
| 1 | "Everything goes into the UI layer." | Developers think "UI" is everything visible. | Separate presentation from business logic; use services or view‑models for logic. |
| 2 | "The repository contains only SQL queries." | Repository is used as a thin data access helper. | Let the repository expose higher‑level operations (e.g., `GetUserOrders()`), not raw SQL. |
| 3 | "Too many interfaces, too little implementation." | Fear of tight coupling leads to interface proliferation. | Use interfaces only where needed; default to concrete classes if no real abstraction is required. |
| 4 | "All data validation lives in the database." | Over‑reliance on DB constraints hides logic from application. | Validate in code before persisting, but keep minimal integrity checks in DB for safety. |

6. How to Apply This in a New Project
Start with Domain Objects
Identify entities (e.g., `Product`, `Order`, `Customer`).
Write plain C# classes that encapsulate business state and behavior.
Create Repository Interfaces
For each entity, create an interface such as `IProductRepository`.
Add methods for CRUD operations plus any query methods needed by the UI.
Implement Repositories
Use EF Core (`DbContext`) or Dapper to implement these interfaces.
Keep persistence logic in one place; avoid leaking SQL into domain classes.
Write Services (if needed)
If operations involve multiple entities, create a service that uses repositories.
The service contains orchestration and business rules beyond simple CRUD.
Expose Controllers
In MVC, controllers call services or repositories directly to return views.
For SPA, Web API controllers expose JSON endpoints that the JavaScript front‑end consumes.
Inject Dependencies
Use ASP.NET Core’s DI container to register services, repositories, and DbContext.
Testing
Unit test domain logic with mock repositories or in-memory data stores.
Integration tests can run against a real database or an in‑memory provider.

6. Example: "Book Store" Application
Layer Responsibility Key Classes / Interfaces
Domain `Book`, `Order`, `Customer` entities; validation logic; domain services like `InventoryService`. `IBookRepository`, `IOrderRepository`
Application Use‑case: `PlaceOrderCommandHandler`. `PlaceOrderCommand`, `PlaceOrderCommandHandler`, `IMediator`
Infrastructure Persistence (`EFCoreBookStoreDbContext`), email service. `EfBookRepository : IBookRepository`, `SmtpEmailService : IEmailSender`
Presentation ASP.NET MVC Controllers/Views or API endpoints. `OrdersController`
---
4. What to Expose at the Domain Layer
4.1 Entities and Value Objects
Full domain entities (`Order`, `Product`, etc.) with public methods that implement business logic (e.g., `AddItem`, `ApplyDiscount`).
Value objects (`Money`, `Address`) with immutability, equality semantics.
4.2 Domain Services
Interfaces for operations that don’t naturally belong to an entity but involve multiple entities or external systems.
```csharp
public interface IOrderProcessor
void Process(Order order);
```
4.3 Repositories (Interfaces Only)
Define interfaces like `IOrderRepository` with methods: `Add`, `GetById`, `FindAll`.
The implementation will reside in the infrastructure layer.
4.4 Domain Events
Publish events such as `OrderPlacedEvent`. Handlers can be part of application services or infrastructure.
4.5 Factories (Optional)
For complex object creation, expose factory interfaces: `IOrderFactory`.
3. Recommended Architecture for a .NET 6/7 Application
Below is a clean‑room architecture that separates concerns into five layers:
Domain (Core) | Application | Infrastructure
----------------------------------|-------------|------------------------------
- Entities | App Services|
- Value Objects | DTOs |
- Domain Events & Handlers | Commands |
- Repositories (interfaces only) | Queries |
- Factories / Specifications | |
3.1 Domain Layer (`Domain` Project)
Entities – `Order`, `Customer`, etc.
Value Objects – e.g., `Money`, `Address`.
Domain Events – `OrderPlacedEvent`.
Repositories – `IOrderRepository`, `ICustomerRepository` (only interfaces).
All domain logic, invariants, and event handling live here.
3.2 Application / Service Layer (`Application` Project)
This layer contains application services that orchestrate domain operations:
public class OrderService : IOrderService
private readonly IOrderRepository orderRepo;
private readonly IMessagePublisher publisher;
public OrderService(IOrderRepository orderRepo, IMessagePublisher publisher)
orderRepo = orderRepo;
publisher = publisher;
public async Task PlaceOrderAsync(OrderDto dto)
var order = new Order(dto.Id, dto.CustomerId, dto.Items);
// Domain logic may throw ValidationException
await orderRepo.AddAsync(order);
// Publish event after persistence (ensures idempotency)
await publisher.PublishAsync(new OrderPlacedEvent(order.Id, order.CustomerId));
4.3 Idempotency & Duplicate Prevention
Database Constraints: Use unique keys on `OrderNumber` or `CustomerId+Date`. This ensures that duplicate submissions result in constraint violations that can be caught and ignored.
Application Layer Check: Before creating a new order, check if an existing order with the same key exists. If found, return the existing record instead of creating a new one.
4.4 Handling Concurrency
Use optimistic concurrency control (e.g., row version/timestamp columns) when updating orders.
In case of conflict, inform the user or automatically merge changes if business rules allow.
5. Validation Rules and Error Messages
Field Validation Rule Error Message
Order ID Must be unique (system-generated) "Order ID already exists. Please refresh the page."
Customer Name Required, max 50 chars "Customer name is required and cannot exceed 50 characters."
| Phone Number | Optional; if provided must match pattern `^+?0-9\s\-7,15
The Cost Of
| "Phone number format is invalid. Include country code if necessary." |
| Address | Required, max 200 chars | "Address is required and cannot exceed 200 characters." |
| Product SKU | Must exist in product catalog | "Selected product does not exist in the catalog." |
| Quantity | Integer ≥ 1 | "Quantity must be a positive integer." |
| Price | Decimal ≥ 0.01 | "Price must be at least $0.01." |
| Order Total (computed) | > 0 | "Order total cannot be zero."* |
Error Handling Flow:
Input Validation Failure
- Return HTTP 400 Bad Request with detailed JSON payload indicating which fields failed and why.
Business Rule Violation
- Return HTTP 422 Unprocessable Entity, providing the specific business rule that was violated (e.g., insufficient inventory).
System Errors (Database Failures, Timeouts)
- Return HTTP 500 Internal Server Error with a generic message; log detailed stack trace for debugging.
Duplicate Request
- If idempotency key detected, return HTTP 200 OK with the original response payload to avoid duplicate processing.
5. Performance and Scalability Strategies
5.1 Parallelism and Concurrency
Pipeline Stages: Each stage (validation, transformation, persistence) can be run in parallel across multiple worker threads or processes.
Thread Pooling: Use a bounded thread pool to avoid oversubscription of CPU cores; tune based on system resources.
5.2 Load Balancing and Sharding
Sharded Database Tables: Partition `transactions` table by hash of `idempotency_key` to distribute load across multiple database instances.
Distributed Queues: If scaling horizontally, use message brokers (Kafka, RabbitMQ) to feed requests into worker clusters.
5.3 Batch Operations
Batch Inserts/Updates: Accumulate a batch of transaction records and perform bulk operations to reduce round-trip overhead.
Transactional Guarantees: Use database transactions to ensure atomicity across multiple related writes.
5.4 Resource Monitoring
Metrics Collection: Track CPU, memory usage per worker; expose Prometheus metrics for autoscaling decisions.
Circuit Breakers: Prevent cascading failures by halting new requests if downstream services become overloaded.
6. Error Handling and Logging Strategy
Scenario HTTP Status Code Response Body Logging Details
Validation error (e.g., missing fields, bad format) 400 Bad Request `{"error":"Invalid input: "}` Log request payload, validation errors, timestamp.
Authentication failure (invalid JWT, expired token) 401 Unauthorized `{"error":"Authentication required."}` Log auth header content, user ID if present, timestamp.
Authorization failure (user not in required role/agency) 403 Forbidden `{"error":"Access denied."}` Log user ID, requested resource, roles, timestamp.
Resource conflict (e.g., duplicate record) 409 Conflict `{"error":"Record already exists."}` Log conflicting data, timestamps.
Server error (exception thrown) 500 Internal Server Error `{"error":"An unexpected error occurred."}` Log stack trace, request parameters, user context.
---
4. Data Integrity & Validation
Validation Rules
- Use a validation library (e.g., Joi or Yup) to enforce schemas on incoming JSON payloads.
- For example: `id` must be a positive integer; `name` is required and string length ≤ 255.
Database Constraints
- Primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints at the DB level.
- Use transactions for multi‑step operations (e.g., create & link).
Audit Logging
- Store change history in a separate audit table: `audit_log` with columns `(id, action_type, payload_before, payload_after, performed_by, timestamp)`.
Error Handling Middleware
- Centralized error handling to map internal errors to appropriate HTTP status codes (e.g., 500 for server errors).
Testing & Validation
- Unit tests for each endpoint with various input scenarios.
- Integration tests ensuring database consistency.
By structuring the API around these CRUD endpoints and enforcing consistent data integrity, you’ll have a robust foundation that can scale to accommodate more complex features (e.g., relationships between tables) while maintaining clarity in the database schema design. - https://gitea.tmartens.dev/lashaybelue016
