.NET Aspire is Microsoft's opinionated stack for building cloud-native apps, but it's more than just a buzzword. Aspire simplifies the local development of distributed systems, helps wire up cloud services, and streamlines deployment from dev box to production.

In this session, you'll get a practical tour of what makes Aspire special and how to use it to build scalable, multi-service applications with less ceremony. We'll cover:

Application composition: Learn how Aspire simplifies local orchestration and service dependencies.

Extensibility with components: Add observability, caching, databases, and more with plug-and-play resources.

End-to-end developer workflow: From project templates to Azure deployment, see how Aspire boosts productivity with integrated tooling.

Whether you're modernizing an existing system or building greenfield, this session will help you understand how .NET Aspire is shaping the future of cloud-native development and how you can be part of it from day one.
