Write distributed apps naturally on your local machine using .NET Aspire!

.NET Aspire radically simplifies the process of building distributed applications! With this powerful tool, you can design, code, and run distributed systems on your local dev machine, even replicating cloud services such as Azure Cosmos DB and Azure Storage. Aspire includes the templates and packages you need to create a complete distributed environment on your local machine, including Kubernetes orchestration, observability, and database integration, all from your familiar Visual Studio IDE.

In .NET Aspire Made Easy you’ll discover:

  • The anatomy of a .NET Aspire application
  • How to set up and use the Aspire dashboard
  • Hosting Docker containers in Aspire
  • Detailed examples of Aspire integrations—from databases to distributed caches
  • Deploying Aspire apps to production with Azure Container Apps and Kubernetes

The groundbreaking .NET Aspire framework makes it easy to locally launch distributed applications in a single process, so you can run apps in development the same way they’ll work in production. .NET Aspire Made Easy teaches you to use this powerful framework to build reliable distributed apps without flaky emulators or the need to disable half your services.

about the book

In .NET Aspire Made Easy you’ll discover the fundamentals of Aspire: how Aspire code is structured, how its components all work together, and how to integrate Aspire apps with databases, message brokers, and other infrastructure. The book is packed with solutions to common and not-so-common problems—from making service discovery work with SignalR clients, to deploying Aspire applications in cloud environments. Throughout, you’ll get your hands dirty with real-world examples of large-scale applications, including an e-commerce app and a social media platform.
