Is it just me that thinks this is absurdly verbose? Imagine adding a new field on this. Or having, like any other CRUD app, 25 other entities. What a nightmare.

Verbose compared to what? It doesn't seem overly verbose to me. This isn't some Hello World example, this provides a fully featured real-world example (minus all the Okta fluff).

Rails?

Well, on the back end, lots of things, for example, postgrest.

postgrest is perfect for control panels. I wonder if there's anything faster.

Rails. Laravel. Express.js. Whatever. If you use that many DTOs for a real-world CRUD, you are killing your company.

This reads as an ad for Okta, and is posted by an Okta employee.

Does this run on Linux now? Honest question.

I remember some years back toying around with C# on Linux using Mono. The language is nice, but the .net stuff quickly became limiting.

Yes, it has for quite a while now. To be clear, .NET Core is cross-platform. .NET Framework (old/existing) is still Windows-only. You can target both by targeting .NET Standard. Still confusing, I know :(

Yes this runs of linux and macos now. dotnetcore is multiplatform. It doesn't use Mono.

That's technically true, but unlike any framework that actually runs on linux asp.net stuff can only run on microsoft's kestrel webserver, which requires being behind a reverse proxy.

There is no reason it cannot run as an apache fastcgi module. They are currently working on getting it to run in the W3WP working process on IIS/Windows.

Or if you prefer Vue: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/1214885/Vue-Js-with-ASP...
