The Codebreaker.Bot project we used previously offers a minimal API service. With the updates, a REST API isn’t needed – a simple console application will do. Just create a new console application (dotnet new console -o Codebreaker.BotQ) and copy the source code from Codebreaker.Bot. The new bot will also use gRPC for communication with the game APIs service. Because this isn’t an ASP.NET Core application, these NuGet packages are needed for gRPC:

• Google.Protobuf
• Grpc.Net.ClientFactory
• Grpc.Tools

For the DI container, we also need Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting, and for the .NET Aspire Storage Queues component, we need Aspire.Azure.Storage.Queues.

Next, we’ll update the app model.

Defining app-model for Azure Storage

With the AppHost project, reference the newly created project, Codebreaker.BotQ, and add the Aspire.Hosting.Azure.Storage NuGet package so that you can use...
