Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! ASP.NET Core is fully cross-platform. Server Compass deploys .NET apps to Linux VPS using Docker, which is lighter and cheaper than Windows hosting. Most production .NET apps now run on Linux.
Minimal APIs are great for microservices and simple endpoints with less ceremony. Controllers offer better organization for large apps with filters and model binding. Server Compass supports both approaches.
Server Compass supports both Blazor Server (real-time SignalR connection) and Blazor WebAssembly (client-side). We configure proper WebSocket support for Blazor Server and static hosting for WASM.
SQL Server is traditional but requires licensing. PostgreSQL is a free, powerful alternative with excellent Entity Framework support. Server Compass deploys both, with PostgreSQL recommended for cost savings.
