For several releases now we’ve been making progress on one of our ongoing aspirational goals. Making .NET one of the most productive platforms on the planet for building cloud-native applications. We worked alongside some of the most demanding services at Microsoft with scaling needs unheard of for most apps, services supporting hundreds of millions of monthly active users. Building apps for the cloud was still too hard. Developers are increasingly pulled away from their business logic and what matters most to deal with the complexity of the cloud. To help you simplify cloud app complexity, we’re introducing .NET Aspire, an opinionated stack for building resilient, observable, and configurable cloud-native applications with .NET. It includes a curated set of components enhanced for cloud-native by including service discovery, telemetry, resilience, and health checks by default. We’re shipping the first preview of .NET Aspire with .NET 8 and will GA as part of .NET 8 in spring next year.
