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
