YARP (Yet Another Reverse Proxy) is a .NET library and toolkit for building high-performance, customizable HTTP reverse proxy servers on ASP.NET. It supports config-file or programmatic configuration, load balancing, health checks, and protocols like HTTP/2, HTTP/3, gRPC, and WebSockets.

Use cases

build a reverse proxy in .NET
route traffic to backend services with load balancing
create an API gateway with custom routing rules
proxy gRPC and WebSocket traffic
customize proxy behavior programmatically
front microservices with a configurable gateway

When to choose

you need a reverse proxy deeply customized in .NET code
you want an API gateway integrated with ASP.NET middleware
you need high-performance proxying with HTTP/2, HTTP/3, gRPC, or WebSockets support
you want configuration driven by your own backend config system

When to avoid

you just need a simple static reverse proxy without custom code (nginx or Caddy may suffice)
your stack is not .NET and you don't need programmatic customization
you need a full-featured edge proxy with extensive plugin ecosystems out of the box
