Introducing Aspire - a dev-first toolkit for your entire stack

Modern frontend teams don’t just build UIs—they orchestrate APIs, databases, and cloud-native services. But the local dev loop is messy.
Aspire changes that. It’s a dev-first toolkit that spins up your entire app—frontend, backend, and dependencies—with a built-in dashboard for logs, health checks, and traces. And if you aren't already using Open Telemetry, Aspire knows how to turn it on for your whole stack.
No replatforming, no YAML, and no cloud required. Just "aspire run" to start everything from your frontend to your custom containers - no matter the language.
Come see how Aspire streamlines your stack and bring sanity back to local development.

Advanced Cloud Native Development with .NET Aspire

Aspire is the new .NET technology for running your applications in the Cloud.

In this deeper dive into Aspire we will explore how you will run Aspire in production. This includes using CI/CD to publish apps, implementing health checks, adding commands to the dashboard and more.

It's not your dad's .NET anymore

.NET is feeling 22! Since 2002, .NET has grown into the most performant and flexible platform for building any type of app for any device. Target mobile/desktop with .NET MAUI, the web with ASP.NET and Blazor, and even orchestrate your cloud native development and deployment with .NET Aspire. .NET 8 was the biggest and best .NET yet - until .NET 9 came out in November!

Join Maddy Montaquila, .NET Senior Product Manager, for a whirlwind tour of some of the cool things you can do with .NET, how it all integrates together, .NET 9 updates/.NET 10 sneak peaks, and maybe even some history lessons on how all this came about!

Intro to .NET Aspire - Modern app development doesn't have to be painful

Explore the groundbreaking .NET Aspire technology stack, designed to streamline development of today's cloud apps. We'll start from the basics - what even is Aspire?! - and then dive into how it decreases onboarding time, provides deep app insights during development, and bootstraps deployments without locking you into any specific language or cloud. Join Maddy Montaquila, Product Lead for .NET Aspire at Microsoft, to learn how "Aspirifying" your app gets developers back to developing again!

Hybrid Web and Desktop apps with .NET MAUI and Blazor

Do you have a website or webapp that you want to bring to the desktop? Do you want to use desktop functionality - like offline support and notifications - in your web project? If you use Blazor, you can bring your app to the desktop with just a few lines of code thanks to .NET MAUI! Join Maddy Montaquila, PM for .NET MAUI, to learn about .NET MAUI Blazor Hybrid apps and some practical examples of how you can use this in your projects today.
