How about using alternative web frameworks? e.g. Nancy, coupled with similar alternative ORM, etc...

Carter is probably a better choice than Nancy nowadays, but in any case the new minimal api features coming in 6 look to provide a really excellent way to build elegant web APIs without large framework overhead.

We kinda stopped developing Nancy when .NET core came out because MVC became more opt in rather than opt out, and was more performant. (Prior to .NET Core, Nancy could handle more RPS over .NET Framework mvc)

Master Jonathan Channon (and contributors) have done an awesome job with carter! It’s definitely an awesome alternative. And I think with the stuff David Fowler has been working on to make hello world easier it will help make carter better too.
