PinHttp Takes .NET HTTP Back to the Metal
A low-latency HTTP/1.1 server and client for .NET 11 that gives applications direct control over polling, threads, buffers, and batching.
Field notes
The project exposes an explicit execution model rather than relying on the usual .NET scheduling path: callers own the polling loop, choose the wait behavior, and can batch writes across sockets. Its documented latency model distinguishes a 100 µs spin window from poll-based parking, while the benchmark setup pins client and server processes to separate cores. The page also identifies .NET 11 preview and Native AOT as part of the displayed comparison environment.
