Full Stack .NET SaaS Web Application Development

This project is a ground-up SaaS platform and I need the complete stack implemented—from the database schema to the pixel-perfect user interface. The codebase will live on .NET (latest LTS), with C# for the API layer and Entity Framework Core handling data access.

Because the focus is full-stack development, you will:

• Design and code RESTful endpoints, integrate authentication (JWT/OIDC), and optimise queries for SQL Server or Azure SQL.
• Craft a modern single-page application that consumes those APIs. I’m flexible on the front-end framework; if you prefer React, Angular, or Vue .js, pitch the stack you can deliver quickest and most robustly.
• Set up automated testing (unit, integration, basic UI) and a CI/CD pipeline so every push can deploy to a staging slot in Azure.
• Produce concise README and deployment scripts so the app can be reproduced on a fresh environment without manual tweaks.

Acceptance criteria
1. Solution builds and runs locally with a single command.
2. All endpoints covered by tests with at least 80 % line coverage.
3. Front-end passes Lighthouse performance score ≥ 90 on desktop.
4. Deployment to Azure staging succeeds through the pipeline and environment variables are the only configuration points.

Let me know which front-end framework you favour and provide a brief outline of the architecture you intend to follow so we can align quickly and move straight into development.
