Running ASP.NET Core Apps without a server? WHAT???

on YouTube ↗46m

" summary

Claim: you can run full ASP.NET Core apps without a traditional server by compiling C# to WebAssembly with Blazor WebAssembly and shipping the generated static bundle (the demo uploads 126 files including the .NET wasm runtime and blazer.webassembly.js). The workflow uses the Mono runtime, optional AOT and hot reload, and deploys to Azure static website or GitHub Pages via GitHub Actions; demos show the pages serving and interacting in the browser and .NET 8 adds server‑side rendering for SEO.
