Techempower Benchmarks all run on Linux and they are quite focused on the performance of them https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=test&runid=9... 7+ million requests per second on linux for a single server (maxing out a 10GBps network) isn't to shabby ;) Also they run continuous benchmarks for all platforms in a wider range of tests https://github.com/aspnet/Benchmarks With the results being public at https://aka.ms/aspnet/benchmarks

I would learn ASP.NET Core. It's a significant design shift that has some growing pains for the community but will be a big improvement. I like Core because it's easier to build a minimal website (without all the bloat that comes with ASP.NET 4 and previous, like System.Web). Also your application specifies most of the behavior now, rather than relying on IIS configuration. Performance benchmarks have also been exciting: https://github.com/aspnet/benchmarks

They link to some benchmarks in the article: https://github.com/aspnet/benchmarks (they're a little hard to read on mobile, but I think the tl;dr is "plenty fast" (or to quote the article: "Our lab runs show that ASP.NET Core is faster than some of our industry peers. We see throughput that is 8x better than Node.js and almost 3x better than Go, on the same hardware. We’re also not done! These improvements are from the changes that we were able to get into the 1.0 product.")

The performance improvements that Ben Adams and other ASP.NET Core contributors have made haven't been Windows specific for the most part. Personally, I do most of my perf testing on Windows, but that doesn't mean Linux is completely left out. Last month, I did some Linux profiling in our perf lab. As part of that, I ran the exact same benchmark shown in that graph on the exact same equipment and got over double the RPS numbers we got back in November much like we did on Windows. I just updated the https://github.com/aspnet/benchmarks/ repo with the linux numbers I got last month since Ben's blog post has brought some increased attention to it. We plan to do a more complete benchmark run soon so we can update more numbers.

Update: Checked with the team, latest Linux benchmark for plaintext with pipelining from January was 928,023 rps, which is a lot closer to the Windows numbers (78%). Updated here: https://github.com/aspnet/benchmarks/#plain-text-with-http-p... Linux benchmarks are included here: https://github.com/aspnet/benchmarks/ The team definitely wants to make ASP.NET Core run fast on Linux, too. The ASP.NET team perf rig runs both Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Windows Server 2012 R2. A lot of the perf enhancements are due to community pull requests, mostly from Ben (author of parent post). The perf work's been discussed a lot on the weekly community standup calls (http://live.asp.net), here's one going over the rig and perf in general: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7O81CAjmOXk&list=PL0M0zPgJ3H... There's a lot going on right now - both ASP.NET Core and .N

ET Core are new to Linux, the teams are working on getting 1.0 releases out the door, etc. I expect perf on both Windows and Linux to continue to improve, both before and after 1.0 release. This week on the community standup, Damian said that perf is one area that's lower risk as RTM approaches, and that they're hoping for more improvement there. And this is very much an open source project, as you can see from the merged pull requests in general (https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer/pulls?q=is%3Apr+...) and the fact that Ben (non m-dollar) is battling with a Microsoft dev to be the top contributor. It'd be great to get some more devs with Linux HTTP serving background contributing. I think I remember that they only posted benchmark updates when there was a significant change. Checking with the team now. Source: long time ASP.NET groupie, Microsoft employee (until they find out I'm goofing off on HN instead of replying to e-mail).

It's confusing, but ASP.NET 5 ships with ASP.NET MVC 6. ASP.NET MVC 5 was released in October, 2013. I'm assuming you meant ASP.NET 5 / ASP.NET MVC 6 since that's what was announced today. There's a good chance you know this, but since some people reading this thread might not I figured I'd give some more detail. It's definitely in Microsoft's interest to make Azure a great place to host your ASP.NET applications. The team that builds ASP.NET is part of the Azure group, and that's what pays the bills. (disclaimer: Microsoft employee, Azure fan) However, ASP.NET 5 has been built to run great on your own web server. In addition to IIS on Windows, ASP.NET 5 has a cross platform, open source web server named Kestrel that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux: https://github.com/aspnet/KestrelHttpServer/ The team's working really hard to make sure th
