Improving your dev experience with .NET Aspire
Building applications today is a lot more complicated than it used to be, as we tend to shy away from monoliths and build, at least somewhat, distributed applications. On top of that, they tend to be dependent on a bunch of external services like Redis, SQL, Service Buses and Kafka. All of them, things that make your application development a more complicated.
Sure, a lot of it can be handled by a bunch of configuration, conventions and Docker. But it still takes time, is sometimes overly complicated, and causes quite a few headaches. What if it didn't have to?
.NET Aspire is built to simplify your development in these kinds of scenarios. The goal is to allow you to orchestrate your solution using code, and have the framework sort out things like service discovery, telemetry, logging, resiliency and more.
In this presentation you will get an introduction to what .NET Aspire can do for you! It will also try to explain a bit about how it actually works, instead of just showing the new and shiny stuff and saying that it is the result of many sacrificed chickens and black magic!
Chris Klug
Chris Klug has been building software professionally since sometime around 2000, back when .NET was new, CSS was a suggestion, and Roy Fielding’s REST paper had just been published. Since then he has written code for everything from model agencies to online sports betting to professional sail racing, because staying in one industry sounded far too boring.
He has been a Microsoft MVP for something like 15 years (depending on when he last updated this abstract), which either means he knows a thing or two or that he just talks a lot. Possibly both, but we all know the latter is a given. These days he works at Active Solution in Stockholm, helping clients solve problems and build better systems.
When he is not writing code, Chris is usually geeking out on some form of extreme sport like skydiving, kitesurfing, snowboarding, mountain biking, or wing foiling. He loves learning new things and spends way too much time thinking about weird stuff most people never even notice.
