Rah-e Shalamcheh: fast publication, a searchable archive and channel distribution

A modular monolith on .NET 10: sixteen independent modules — editorial, reporters, photo reports, publishing, distribution, media, search and the rest — with explicit boundaries, in a single deployment. Each module owns its domain and application layer and talks to the others only through a contract; a layer of architecture tests checks those boundaries at build time.

CQRS is used where reads and writes want different shapes: the editorial workflow goes through the write path with domain rules, while the front page, the archive and search come from the read path. Delivery to channels runs through an outbound queue and the outbox pattern, so publishing a story never waits on a slow Telegram or mail provider and no send is lost.

The admin panel is React 19 on Vite and the public site is Next.js 15 with server rendering — both fed by one API. The database is PostgreSQL, and the Persian full-text index runs on it too, rather than adding a separate search engine that would have to be operated separately.
