Keeping with the spirit to keep ourselves updated with the latest technologies especially related to Microsoft and .NET, we had projected a great growth potential by adopting ASP.NET Core and as a result of our decision, we are reaping its benefits today. We are going to share our experience about ASP.NET Core and why it is the best-suited technology for Enterprise Web Application development.

To put it in simplest words, ASP.NET Core is an open-source, cross-platform framework for building modern and cloud-based Web Apps. ASP.NET Core is platform-independent and it can run on every major platform such as Linux, macOS, and Windows. ASP.NET Core helps with the development of Web Applications, Web Services, and Dynamic Websites.

• We can build both Web UI and Web APIs.
• Its Architecture is designed to support effective testing.
• It supports Razor Pages Coding which makes work more productive.
• As it’s an open-source, it is strongly community-focused and a lot of material is available to support development.
• It helps in hosting Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services using gRPC.
• NET Core is a Cloud-ready environment-based configuration system.
• It has built-in dependency injection.
• NET Core supports lightweight, high performance and highly modular HTTP request pipeline.
• It can be hosted on any of the following:
  • Kestrel
