Basics

ASP.NET Core is a modern, high-performance, cross-platform framework for building web applications and APIs using C#. It is designed for scalability, security, and cloud-native development, running on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

It supports REST APIs, MVC apps, Razor Pages, Blazor, and integrates natively with Azure, containers, and modern DevOps pipelines.

When to Use ASP.NET Core​

✅ Best Use Cases

  • Backend APIs for web, mobile, and Power Apps solutions
  • Enterprise web applications with strong security and role-based access
  • Microservices and cloud-native architectures
  • High-performance systems handling large traffic or data volume
  • Systems requiring tight integration with Microsoft stack (Azure, SQL, Entra ID)

❌ Less Ideal When

  • You only need a simple static website
  • You want rapid no-code/low-code development (Power Apps is faster) -The team lacks .NET/C# expertise
