FastEndpoints is a lightweight REST API development framework for ASP.NET 8 and newer that serves as a developer-friendly alternative to Minimal APIs and MVC controllers. It encourages the REPR (Request-Endpoint-Response) design pattern, enabling endpoint creation with virtually no boilerplate while maintaining performance on par with Minimal APIs.
Use cases
- build rest apis in asp.net without mvc controllers
- replace minimal api boilerplate with structured endpoints
- create endpoints using vertical slice architecture in c#
- add jwt bearer auth and api versioning to asp.net endpoints
- write integration tests for asp.net endpoints without routes
- stream real-time data with server-sent events in asp.net
When to choose
- you want a structured, boilerplate-free alternative to MVC controllers or raw Minimal APIs in ASP.NET
- you prefer the REPR pattern or vertical slice architecture over controller-based organization
- you need built-in validation, auth, versioning, and integration testing support out of the box
- performance matters and you want benchmarks comparable to Minimal APIs
When to avoid
- your project targets ASP.NET versions older than .NET 8
- you are building non-HTTP services like gRPC, background workers, or desktop apps
- your team is heavily invested in MVC conventions and tooling that depends on controllers
- you need a full-stack framework with frontend capabilities rather than just an API layer
