High-performance APIs and microservices on .NET 10

Official documentation (opens in a new tab)

Overview

ASP.NET Core is the default web host in ConnectSoft microservice, gateway, identity, and SaaS templates. We use it for REST APIs, middleware pipelines, health checks, OpenAPI documentation, and YARP-based routing—with consistent security and telemetry hooks on every generated service.

Factory solutions layer Clean Architecture, FluentValidation, and feature management on ASP.NET Core so teams focus on domain logic. Hosting targets Azure App Service, Container Apps, and AKS with configuration pulled from Azure App Configuration and secrets from managed stores—not hard-coded environment drift.

Client products that need public APIs, BFF layers, or integration endpoints get the same patterns: JWT and OpenIddict integration, correlation IDs through Serilog, and export to Application Insights and OpenTelemetry. We avoid one-off hosts that become operational orphans after launch.

Ready to expose reliable APIs on Azure? ASP.NET Core in our templates is production-tested—let's extend it for your contracts, SLAs, and release cadence.

Why we use it:

  • Default host for Factory microservices, gateways, and identity services
  • Minimal APIs and controllers with OpenAPI/Swagger or Scalar reference UIs
  • Built-in DI, configuration, and health checks for Azure deployments
  • First-class OpenTelemetry and Application Insights integration
  • Aligns with Clean Architecture and validation layers in templates
  • YARP and gRPC available for gateway and high-performance RPC scenarios
