Cloud-Native Development Using .NET Aspire

This chapter is about cloud-native development using .NET Aspire, a new feature of .NET 8 and later that improves the local development experience when building distributed cloud-native solutions.

The general availability of .NET Aspire was announced at Microsoft Build on May 21, 2024. Overall, developers seem excited about .NET Aspire’s capabilities and its potential impact on cloud-native development. For example, Pramesh KC, an ordinary .NET developer like you, described .NET Aspire as a game-changer in the .NET 8 lineup. He emphasized that it has quickly become his favorite feature.
