Preface

Performance and scalability


If you need the best possible performance and support high scalability scenarios then you need to absolutely use ASP.NET Core 2.0 and the underlying .NET Core Framework. ASP.NET Core 2.0 has been built from the ground up for high performance and high scalability scenarios. It really shines in these areas and it can be considered as the best choice.

It is ten times faster than classic ASP.NET, you can even think of it to be the fastest web application runtime in the .NET world currently available!

Furthermore, it provides the best solution for microservices architectures, where performance and scalability are extremely important. No other technology is as efficient while consuming such low system resources, which also leads to reduced infrastructure and cloud hosting costs.
