Asp.net to rewrite my web app?


I have a successful lifestyle business that needs its codebase rewritten. It's mostly written in C# against an old version of .NET (no web framework, it's that old) and is hosted on Azure. It uses the eBay Trading API and requires real-time (to the second) accuracy to run jobs that post bids to eBay, then collect the results. Is ASP.NET recommended here, or is Microsoft moving to another web framework I should be looking at instead?

Your code is already in C# so why not just go to .NET Core (and with version 6 coming out I think they are just calling it '.NET 6'). Any reason the jobs that post bids to eBay cannot run as Azure Function (or the equivalent on other clouds)?

Bro! It's awesome you're still running this!

That old code will run on newer .NET - maybe needs a few tweaks.

You may have timing issues with hosted functions and the cost savings may not work out (cause of missed timing)
