Our story — build better .NET software together

It started with one simple idea: developers deserve a better beginning.

In 2014, we were building enterprise applications the same way so many teams did: copying boilerplate from old projects, re-implementing the same modules, and writing layers of infrastructure before any meaningful business logic could begin.

We loved .NET — but we knew there had to be a better way.

That frustration led to the first lines of what would become ABP Framework: a modular, opinionated foundation that gives developers a clean architecture and powerful building blocks out of the box.

We open-sourced it.

We shared it with the community.

And everything changed.

From an open-source experiment to a global platform


Developers around the world started using ABP to structure applications, solve cross-cutting concerns, and escape the “rewrite everything” cycle.

As adoption grew, so did the vision.

In 2018, we founded Volosoft — a dedicated team to bring ABP to the next level, expand the ecosystem, and build professional tooling around the framework.

Today, hundreds of thousands of developers have explored ABP Framework, and thousands of teams rely on the ABP Platform to ship production-ready .NET applications faster and with more confidence.

What began as a small open-source project is now:

  • A complete application development platform
  • A growing ecosystem of modules and tooling
  • A thriving global developer community
  • A professional suite of enterprise features and services

Developers building for developers


ABP has always been built by people who write real software every day.

Our team includes:

  • .NET architects
  • Open-source maintainers
  • Frontend & backend developers
  • Tooling and framework designers
  • Developer advocates
  • UX & documentation specialists

We build ABP the way we want to build software: with structure, clarity, modularity, and a relentless focus on developer experience.

That's why ABP includes everything we wished we had years ago:

  • Opinionated architecture
  • A powerful module system
  • Best-practice application layers
  • Built-in cross-cutting features
  • High-quality documentation
  • Automation through ABP Studio
  • An active, supportive community

ABP exists because we believe developers deserve a great starting point — not a blank folder.

Open source at the core


Open source is not just a license for us.

It is a philosophy.

We built ABP in the open, shaped it with the community, and continue to evolve it from real-world feedback and contributions.

  • 10+ years of continuous development
  • Thousands of GitHub issues and discussions
  • Community modules, articles, and tutorials
  • Weekly community talks
  • Hundreds of contributors
  • Transparent roadmap & release cycles

ABP is proof that open source and professional engineering can create something larger than either could alone.

Where we're going


Software development is changing fast — and we're building the future of .NET application development.

ABP Studio

A complete development environment that automates the repetitive, accelerates the essential, and visualizes architectures.

Modular-first Development

A world where teams can build large systems with clean boundaries and sustainable growth.

Modern Full-Stack Experience

Blending backend, frontend, DevOps, and application architecture into a unified platform.

Enterprise-ready Modules

Identity, multi-tenancy, audit logging, messaging, workflows, analytics, and more.

Powerful AI-assisted Development

A new generation of tools that combine ABP's structure with intelligent automation.

We're not just building a framework.

We're shaping how .NET applications will be built in the next decade.
