What is Kestrel?

Kestrel acts as a highly adaptable web server for ASP.NET Core applications and is the standard server included in project templates. It supports multiple protocols, such as HTTPS and HTTP/2, although HTTP/2 is not supported on macOS, and it enables WebSockets through a seamless upgrade feature while also offering Unix socket support to boost performance when used in conjunction with Nginx. This web server is designed to be compatible with all platforms and versions that .NET Core supports. Developers should note that some web browsers require explicit authorization to accept the local development certificate, and the default configuration of project templates is set to use HTTPS, which includes automatic HTTPS redirection and HSTS features. Kestrel additionally provides specific configuration options that are especially advantageous for internet-facing deployments, including unique connection limits for connections upgraded from HTTP or HTTPS to other protocols, particularly during WebSocket requests. Moreover, the server imposes a default maximum request body size limit of around 28.6 MB, or 30,000,000 bytes, which helps in efficiently processing incoming requests. Furthermore, the adaptability of Kestrel empowers developers to customize these settings to meet the particular needs of their applications, ensuring optimal performance and security in various deployment scenarios.

What is Apache HTTP Server?

The goal of the Apache HTTP Server Project is to develop and maintain an open-source HTTP server that is compatible with modern operating systems like UNIX and Windows. This initiative primarily focuses on providing a secure, efficient, and versatile server that meets current HTTP standards while ensuring dependable HTTP services. Furthermore, it encourages community engagement to persistently enhance and advance the server's features and performance. By doing so, the project not only supports users' needs but also drives innovation within the web server landscape.
