In Part 1, we explored the overall architecture of the ASP.NET Core request and response pipeline. Now, we'll dive deep into the foundation layer: the server and hosting infrastructure. This is where everything begins—where your application comes to life and…
We've explored the hosting layer and Kestrel server in Part 2. Now we arrive at the heart of ASP.NET Core: the middleware pipeline. This is where your application's logic lives, where requests are processed, and where responses are built. Understanding…
We've journeyed through the hosting layer, explored Kestrel, and mastered middleware. Now we arrive at a crucial question: once a request makes it through your middleware pipeline, how does ASP.NET Core know which code to execute? The answer is routing and…
We've journeyed through the hosting layer, middleware pipeline, and routing system. Now we arrive at the application layer—where your business logic lives. ASP.NET Core offers three primary programming models for building web applications: MVC…
Throughout this series, we've explored the ASP.NET Core pipeline from its foundations to application models. Now we'll venture into advanced territory: the extension points and hooks that let you customize the pipeline at a deep level. These advanced…
