ASP.NET Core Nginx Reverse Proxy Load balancing

This post is about running your ASP.NET Core application with Nginx as reverse proxy on Windows. Nginx is a web server. It can act as a reverse proxy server for HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocols, as well as a load balancer and an HTTP cache. Nginx runs on Unix, Linux, BSD variants, OS X, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and Windows. Released under the terms of a BSD-like license, Nginx is free and open source software. Few months back on K-MUG Techday, on a NodeJS session, I asked the question about using NodeJS in enterprise project, then I got introduced to Nginx and reverse proxy concepts in NodeJS. Similar to Node, ASP.NET Core is also supports the Kestrel hosting than IIS, it can be also used along with Nginx and can be hosted in Linux as well..

As of RC2 we have a new unified toolchain (the .NET Core CLI) and ASP.NET Core applications are effectively just .NET Core Console Applications, commands are no more relevant. You can modify the main method to change the URLs using the UseUrls method.

With this API, you can send messages to a server and receive event-driven responses without having to poll the server for a reply. In ASP.NET Core Web Sockets is implemented as a middleware, so to use WebSockets in ASP.NET Core, you need to add the reference of WebSockets server package to the references section. And add WebSockets middleware to the configure method and need to handle the web socket requests.
