Unclassified · [Official website](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/servers/kestrel)

Kestrel is the cross-platform web server built into ASP.NET Core by Microsoft. It handles HTTP requests for ASP.NET Core applications, either directly or behind a reverse proxy such as IIS or Nginx. As a server component, it does not track visitors by itself.
