ASP.NET
Consistently ranks among top performers in web framework benchmarks. Minimal APIs for microservices, Blazor for C# web UIs, and SignalR for real-time communication.
High-performance enterprise web APIs
ASP.NET Core is the web framework of the .NET platform, rebuilt as open source in the .NET Core programme and unified since: one framework serves APIs, server-rendered pages, interactive interfaces and real-time messaging. Requests pass through an explicit middleware pipeline, so authentication, routing and caching are stages an engineer can read in order.
Minimal APIs strip ceremony from small services, and the controller pattern carries complex APIs. Entity Framework Core handles data access, and dependency injection, configuration and logging belong to the framework rather than being assembled from third-party libraries.
Blazor extends the framework to interfaces written in C#, and SignalR gives dashboards and collaborative screens their live updates. For a team already on C#, one language and one toolchain reach from the database to the browser.
ASP.NET Core is the wrong choice for content and marketing sites, which publish faster on Next.js. It is also rarely the right call for a team whose skills and tooling are already JavaScript end to end; Node.js serves that team's API tier with less friction.
ASP.NET Core was used by 19.7% of respondents to the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey.

Our ASP.NET capabilities
Minimal APIs & controllers
The endpoint style is chosen per service: minimal APIs where a service is a handful of focused routes, controllers where model binding, filters and inheritance earn their weight. Every API ships with an OpenAPI description generated from the code through Swagger, so the published contract cannot drift from the implementation. Public APIs carry explicit versioning from the first release, through URL or header schemes with a stated deprecation policy, because versioning retrofitted after consumers exist breaks them.

Blazor interactive web UIs
Blazor lets a C# team ship a web interface without standing up a JavaScript stack beside the API. We choose the render mode per component: server rendering keeps payloads small but holds a persistent connection, WebAssembly moves execution into the browser with a larger first load, and the hybrid model mixes both in one application. That choice is made against how the interface is actually used, measured where possible, assumed only where necessary.

SignalR real-time communication
SignalR carries the live parts of a system: dashboards, notifications, presence and collaboration. It negotiates the best available transport, WebSockets where the network allows, and the framework rather than application code handles reconnection and connection state. We design the scale-out path early, through a Redis backplane or the managed Azure SignalR service, because retrofitting one under a stateful connection layer is disruptive.

How We Staff It
ASP.NET Core work is staffed from the same pool as our C# work, and the framework rewards engineers who know its full surface: the middleware pipeline, EF Core's query translation, and the operational habits of Kestrel behind a reverse proxy. Blazor-heavy briefs get engineers who have shipped Blazor before, because render modes and state management are where teams new to it stall.
A typical engagement adds one to three engineers to a product team you already run, or stands up a small team around a new API. Either way, engineers work inside your delivery process and to your working day.
Common Questions
Should our API tier be ASP.NET Core or Node.js?
The workload decides it. ASP.NET Core brings compiled performance for computation behind endpoints, a type system shared with the domain model, and first-party coverage of authentication, validation and OpenAPI. Node.js starts faster for small services, shares code with a JavaScript front end, and draws on a broader package ecosystem.
For long-lived enterprise APIs, ASP.NET Core is usually the stronger platform; for a thin tier in front of a database feeding a React application, Node.js is often enough. In an organisation already running .NET, adding a second server runtime needs a reason.
Is Blazor mature enough for an internal platform?
For internal tools and admin surfaces, yes. The component model has been stable across several .NET releases, and running it server-side sidesteps the WebAssembly download question on an office network. We build enterprise admin panels in it so that a C# team owns them end to end.
For a consumer product with a large interactive interface, the JavaScript ecosystem still carries more component libraries, more hiring depth and more tooling. React or Angular remains the safer choice there.
How does ASP.NET Core hold up under AI-assisted development?
Well, for a framework-specific reason: its public API has been stable since the Core rebuild unified the platform. Middleware, dependency injection and EF Core patterns written several versions ago still compile today, so the public corpus largely agrees with the current framework and generated code lands on current APIs rather than deprecated ones.
The main seam is the hosting model split between the older Startup class and minimal hosting; a repository that uses one consistently keeps generated changes consistent too. Measured results from our AI-augmented delivery flow are on the Technology page.
Our ASP.NET codebase is large. Will AI tools cope with it?
Size matters less than shape. A conventional ASP.NET application is scaffolded: controllers, middleware, dependency injection registrations and configuration each have a known place, so an agent locates the code a change concerns the same way a new engineer does, by convention rather than by reading everything.
Codebases that fight the framework, service locators, reflection-heavy indirection, configuration scattered through custom layers, forfeit that legibility for agents and engineers alike. Restoring convention is incremental refactoring work, and every later change benefits from it.
Will you still take the work if ASP.NET is not what you would choose?
Yes. Recommendation and staffing are separate questions: where an estate is already ASP.NET Core, the framework is rarely what limits delivery, and we staff it without hesitation. Where we would choose differently for a new build, a Node.js API tier or a Next.js site, we say so before the engagement is shaped.
What we do not do is revisit the stack decision after it has been made.
How quickly can you field ASP.NET Core engineers?
A shortlist usually reaches you within 48 hours of a brief, drawn from engineers we already employ or already know; dedicated recruitment covers the narrower profiles, heavy SignalR use or Blazor WebAssembly among them.
Engagements start at one engineer, with terms of three, six, nine or twelve months set at the start.
