Kestrel is a free and open source web server that is created by Microsoft Corporation. It's the primary web server in .NET ecosystem and used mainly as an integral piece of ASP.NET Core nevertheless it's still possible to plug in custom web servers to ASP.NET Core through IServer interface. Usage of Kestrel outside of ASP.NET Core is very limited since Kestrel is designed to power ASP.NET Core, Kestrel is licensed under MIT license.[1][2][3]
Kestrel utilizes Async IO (SocketAsyncEventArgs) with tasks as It's concurrency model to achieve high throughput while internally optimizing usage of strings to byte arrays and containing small amount of platform specific unmanaged "memory unsafe" code for performance of hot critical paths.
History
[edit]Kestrel originally started when ASP.NET Core 1.0 was released, in this stage Kestrel was not ready as an edge server due to security testing being incomplete during earlier stages. As of ASP.NET Core 2.0 Kestrel is edge ready meaning it can receive requests without having a reverse proxy such as IIS or Nginx.[4]
Feature Set
[edit]| Protocol | Platform | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| HTTP/1.1 | Windows, Linux, Mac OS | |
| HTTP/2 | Windows, Linux, Mac OS | |
| SPDY | Outdated | |
| HTTP/3 | Windows, Linux | libmsquic required except for Windows |
Kestrel no longer supports SSL and marks them as depreciated.
| TLS/SSL Version | Notes |
|---|---|
| SSL 1 | Insecure - Not supported |
| SSL 2 | Insecure - Depreciated |
| SSL 3 | Insecure - Depreciated |
| TLS 1.0 | Insecure - Depreciated |
| TLS 1.1 | Insecure - Depreciated |
| TLS 1.2 | |
| TLS 1.3 |
YARP
[edit]There is a reverse proxy based on Kestrel named YARP (Yet Another Reverse Proxy) it is highly configurable and originally created in Microsoft due to internal development because developers at Microsoft would create multiple reverse proxies and instead of reinventing the wheel each time engineers decided for a standardized reverse proxy across the company.
YARP is more customizable than nginx and it suits as an easy way to create web application firewalls compared to writing nginx modules or modifying nginx itself.[5][6][7][8]
