What is Helios in Asp.net?

Question

I have some query regarding helios framework. Q1 What is Helios in Asp.net? Q2 Can we use asp extension like(razor pages and aspx pages) using them.

Some articles says...

One of the core reasons is the performance-factor. Helios will be able to achieve 2x-3x more throughput than standard ASP.Net application. In terms of memory consumption, Helios is much better than System.Web dll. In a taken benchmark Helios architecture allowed a sample application to achieve 50000 concurrent requests with approximately 1GB less overhead compare to a standard ASP.Net application.

So it is possible to use in asp.net application.

Answer 1

For those who stumbled upon this question like me, Helios was an IIS component used during development of ASP.NET Core (known then as ASP.NET 5 or ASP.NET vNext).

Helios was replaced by HttpPlatformHandler Change to IIS hosting model #69 which was subsequently replaced by ASP.NET Core Module HttpPlatformHandler has been replaced by ASP.NET Core Module #164.

At the time of writing, this is the currently used solution for ASP.NET Core - see Microsoft Docs.
