Can you elaborate on “is in no way a typical hosted ASP.NET app”?

I get that the machinery under the hood is different (ie. Kestrel web server may not get used). However, we typically don’t care about those details. Our ASP.NET code runs in 3 separate places (containers, servers, Lambda) and the only difference between all 3 is a single entry point file.

Do you mean because Lambda is only serving one request at a time and has a more ephemeral host process lifetime?

Yes, a typical hosted ASP.NET app is neither ephemeral or one request at a time. So this drives different design decisions.
