The responsibility of the façade is the same as the aggregate, but it implements the interfaces instead of exposing them as properties.

This example shares a lot of the same code as the aggregate services example we just explored, so we start to look at the new code that replaces the IProductMappers interface and the ProductMappers class:

using Shared.Contracts;
