We’ve added new features and APIs in the following areas of the product:

This mean that when there is App_Offline.htm file in the root of a web application directory then ASP.NET will shut-down the application, unload the application domain from the server, and stop processing any new incoming requests for that application. In ASP.NET 5, there is an open-issue for supporting this feature. 

FastEndpoints offers a more elegant solution than the Minimal APIs and MVC Controllers with the goal of increasing developer productivity. Performance is on par with the Minimal APIs and is faster; uses less memory; and outperforms a MVC Controller by about 34k requests per second on a Ryzen 3700X desktop.
