Enterprise-grade web apps and APIs with ASP.NET Core
ASP.NET Core is Microsoft's cross-platform, high-performance framework for building modern web applications, RESTful APIs, and cloud-native services.
Key highlights
Why ASP.NET Core powers some of the world's most demanding applications.
High performance
ASP.NET Core consistently ranks among the fastest web frameworks in industry benchmarks. Its Kestrel web server handles millions of requests per second with minimal memory overhead, making it ideal for high-throughput APIs.
Cross-platform
Run on Windows, Linux, or macOS. Deploy to Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, or on-premises servers. ASP.NET Core applications are fully portable and container-ready with official Docker images.
Security built-in
Built-in authentication, authorization, anti-forgery tokens, data protection, and HTTPS enforcement. ASP.NET Core follows industry security best practices out of the box, reducing the risk of common vulnerabilities.
Why ASP.NET Core is our foundation
The framework that powers the Microbians technology stack.
A mature, battle-tested ecosystem.
ASP.NET Core has powered enterprise applications for over two decades. It's the framework behind Azure, Visual Studio, and thousands of mission-critical systems. The ecosystem includes comprehensive tooling, extensive documentation, and a large community of developers.
Flexible hosting and deployment.
Deploy as a self-contained executable, a Docker container, or a serverless function. ASP.NET Core supports IIS, Kestrel, Nginx, and Apache as reverse proxies. It's equally at home on a Raspberry Pi or a 64-core server.
Blazor, Minimal APIs, and Razor Pages.
ASP.NET Core offers multiple programming models. Blazor for interactive UIs in C#. Minimal APIs for lightweight microservices. Razor Pages for traditional server-rendered applications. MVC for full-featured web apps. Choose the right model for each part of your system.
First-class cloud integration.
ASP.NET Core integrates deeply with Azure services — App Service, Container Apps, Functions, SQL Database, Redis, and more. Aspire extends this with orchestration, service discovery, and observability out of the box.
When to choose ASP.NET Core
A decision framework for project leaders.
Ideal for
- Enterprise web applications requiring security and scalability
- RESTful APIs and microservices architectures
- Blazor-powered interactive web applications
- Cloud-native applications targeting Azure
- Teams building with the broader .NET ecosystem
Less suited for
- Static content sites better served by a static site generator
- Projects requiring tight integration with a non-.NET ecosystem
- Prototypes where a lighter framework would suffice
- Serverless functions that don't need ASP.NET's full feature set
