Need to run logic for every incoming HTTP request?

Use ASP.NET Core middleware.

Common middleware scenarios:

• Logging requests
• Handling exceptions
• Authentication
• Authorization
• Adding custom headers
• Response compression

Middleware executes in the order you register it in the pipeline.

Each middleware can inspect the request, perform work, and pass execution to the next middleware.

• Works better under load
• Integrates with async/await
• Recommended for ASP.NET Core applications
