Distributed application development is complex by nature, often requiring significant time and effort just to wire together services, infrastructure, and dependencies. .NET Aspire, now generally available, provides a modern, cloud-ready approach that dramatically simplifies this process for .NET developers.

In this session, attendees will learn how .NET Aspire enables rapid development of distributed applications through built-in orchestration, opinionated components, and seamless service integration. We’ll cover the core concepts behind Aspire and demonstrate how to quickly scaffold, configure, and run a multi-service application—including web frontends, APIs, data stores, and supporting infrastructure—using minimal configuration.

By the end of the session, participants will understand where .NET Aspire fits into the .NET ecosystem, how it improves local development and deployment workflows, and how to apply it immediately to accelerate their own distributed application projects.
