Agentic applications are inherently complex to build, you have so many systems that need to be connected together, from databases to APIs to cloud platforms.

Microsoft's new Agent Framework can reduce part of this complexity by abstracting away the underlying AI platform, allowing you to move between local and cloud with easy, but there's still a lot of additional overhead for all the other parts of the application to manage.

Enter Aspire, a platform for simplifying the development and deployment of distributed applications, be the monoliths or microservices.

So, let's bring all of this together and see how we can get to the simplicity of cloning a repo and hitting run to have a fully functioning development environment for agentic development that seamlessly rolls into production deployments.
