  • Kestrel is a cross-platform web server built for ASP.NET Core based on libuv – a cross-platform asynchronous I/O library.
  • It is a default web server pick since it is used in all ASP.NET Core templates.
  • It is really fast.
  • It is secure and good enough to use it without a reverse proxy server. However, it is still recommended that you use IIS, Nginx or Apache or something else.
