title: IIS vs Kestrel performance comparison
body: <p>How does the performance of IIS look like comparing to a Kestrel http server?</p>
  
  <p>Seems like Kestrel is significantly inspired by the family of asynchronous and event-driven server frameworks. In the meantime, IIS has a long history of development and obviously more mature in terms of features. Taking all that into account, I'm specifically looking for a comparison of memory utilization, thread utilization, request related comparison (like request-per-second) and streaming capabilities.</p>
