Hello YARP, A Lightning Fast Reverse Proxy with .NET

YARP is a reverse proxy toolkit for building fast proxy servers in .NET using the infrastructure from ASP.NET Core and .NET. The key differentiator for YARP is that it's been designed to be easily customized and tweaked to match the specific needs of each deployment scenario. Let's take a look at YARP, how to get started, build our first reverse proxy, and do a little customization.

Awesome! I spent last weekend switching out Nginx for YARP in an old project of mine. Makes a lot much easier. Don't have to worry about certificates on my local machine.

[@marna_li]

Also, YARP is programmable. So if you ever need to build your configuration programmatically, using C#, then YARP is a perfect choice.

[@SagharMax]

I am always enjoying your tutorials. Thank you so much.

[@brentbruce7772]

Great video. A future topic for a video is writing custom rules for YARP.

[@10Totti]

Nice tutorial!

[@JamesMontemagno]

Glad you think so!

[@rory6315]

The stash looks kinda dope, aint gonna lie Jim.

[@olivier0003]

Something that is good to know :)

Yarp is awesome! I moved from nginx to yarp last year with all my production endpoints. Hated the ngnix config voodoo file.

[@bbqchickenrobot3]

it seriously did take some voodoo for nginx.

Awesome!!

[@ralphcompton4551]

It looks like YARP does a lot of what I'm trying to do with Azure API Management. Am I right? Also when would it be preferable to use YARP over an API Management solution?

[@JamesMontemagno]

Well APIM offers a lot more, it can do reverse proxy, but also proxy, gateway, dashboard, policies, and more. So based on your needs you may need APIM. www.milanjovanovic.tech/blog/implementing-an-api-gateway-for-microservices-with-yarp is a good overview

Could you do a video how websockets behave with yarp?

[@JamesMontemagno]

Docs are here for websockets: microsoft.github.io/reverse-proxy/articles/websockets.html

[@LindenMikus]

does dotnet aspire use yarp behind the scenes? i thought it was based on tye but now im confused by it all

[@JamesMontemagno]

You could use yarp with an aspire app if you needed to. We do it in the eShop sample for the mobile bff.

[@LindenMikus]

@@JamesMontemagno but why is it needed? I thought aspire already linked all the backend applications to a single frontend

I am expecting more videos for designing mobile UI using .NET Maui. I am not sure what happened to .NET Maui comet.

[@JamesMontemagno]

comet was always just an experiment. for MVU I would look at Reactor UI: github.com/adospace/reactorui-maui

[@ivcbusinesssystems6613]

Maybe it's just me, but it always seems that Microsoft explanation's never hit what we do in practice! Yes, we want to proxy paths, but Docker users use NginX as a gateway to map to ports. Since every .net core project needs port mapping, why wouldn't that be a primary focus?

[@timlions1820]

Can YARP be hosted on Linux? If so should it be hosted via Kestrel or Nginx?

[@JamesMontemagno]

Yup! you can easily deploy to linux, it is just a web app at the end of the day so would run on kesrel.

somehow it is hilarious to me that this package is still rocking the default nuget icon
