This startup template is a simple monolith application that is designed to be a good starting point for small to medium-sized projects. It is a single-layered solution that is easy to understand and maintain. It is a good choice for projects that do not require a complex architecture.
In the following conditions, you may consider to use the single-layer solution template:
If your project is small and you don't expect that it will grow by the time. But remember that many projects are thought of as small in the beginning.
If your project is a temporary project and it will be trash in a short time. It can be a POC project or a temporary application for a demo or advertisement campaign.
If you are a single developer or there are only 2–3 developers working on your solution, and these developers are not experienced and are not willing to understand the structure and benefits of a layered application.
In the quick start guide, you will learn how to create and run a single layer web application using ABP Studio.

This is a single-part quick-start tutorial to build a simple todo application with the ABP.

The document explains the Single Layer solution template in detail. It is a reference document to fully understand the solution and refer to when you have trouble.
Document LinkWe love different ways to create the UI. This startup solution provides three UI framework options for your business application.
You have two database provider options (in addition to using both in a single application). Use Entity Framework Core to work with any relational database and optionally use Dapper when you need to write low-level queries for better performance. MongoDB is another option if you need to use a document-based NoSQL database. While these providers are well-integrated, abstracted and pre-configured, you can actually interact with any database system that you can use with .NET.
The Single Layer solution template is fully configured for authentication. The template is configured to use the OpenIddict library for authentication. It is configured in a common way for authentication.
The authentication server handles token generation, validation, and user account management (e.g., login, registration). It uses the Account or Account Pro module. The Account Pro* module additionally supports social logins (e.g., Google, Facebook). Social logins can be enabled, disabled, and configured directly from the application's user interface.
See Technical DocumentThe LeptonX theme is pre-configured for the solution. You can select one of the color palettes (System, Light, or Dark) as default, while the end-user dynamically change it on the fly.
Modularity is a first-class citizen in the ABP.IO platform. All the application functionalities are split into well-isolated optional modules. The startup solution already comes with the fundamental ABP Commercial modules pre-installed. You can also create your own modules to build a modular system for your own application.
The solution has been fully configured to support multi-tenant systems. It allows the tenants to share or have their own databases with on-the-fly database creation and migration system.
