Aspire is Microsoft’s framework for building distributed applications that automatically handles common infrastructure concerns. It provides built-in service discovery, health checks, logging, metrics collection, and configuration management. Aspire includes project templates, local development orchestration, and deployment tools that work with both new and existing .NET applications. This session demonstrates practical implementation through code examples, showing how Aspire reduces boilerplate code and simplifies the development experience for multi-service applications without requiring extensive DevOps knowledge.
