Join us for Open Source Friday as we explore Aspire, a code-first orchestration and observability layer for distributed applications.

Aspire helps developers model services, frontends, databases, queues, caches, containers, and cloud dependencies in one place. Instead of juggling multiple terminals, configs, and dashboards, you can define your application as a system, run it with a single command, and observe everything through a shared toolchain.

In this session, we’ll talk about how Aspire simplifies local development for distributed apps, improves consistency across teams, supports multi-language application stacks, and helps developers and AI coding agents work from the same application model.

We’ll also look at how Aspire supports service discovery, centralized diagnostics, AppHost-based architecture, and workflows that span local development and production deployment.
