With the release of .NET 8 we are getting a peak into how the .NET team at Microsoft are thinking about building the "next wave" of apps built in and run in the cloud. With the announcement of .NET Aspire, an opinionated framework for building production ready apps, we now have a framework for building multi-service apps with cloud native dependencies locally with minimal effort.

In this session, we will take a look at the following topics around .NET Aspire
- Orchestration: We will delve into exactly how you build apps using .NET Aspire, with samples of common use-cases
- Components: Though our cases might start common, the tend to grow. Here we will investigate how Aspire allows you to add new functionality or dependencies to your apps.
- Tooling: As .NET developers, we expect first-class tooling. Here we will walk through the experience building (and deploying) .NET Aspire apps to the cloud using ready-made templates that we can build upon.

There is no better time to be a .NET developer, and with .NET Aspire we can see the beginning of an efficient and enjoyable way to build apps that live in the cloud. It only gets better from here!
