What problem does it solve?
.NET Aspire helps teams coordinate multiple services for local development and integration (databases, brokers, and service-to-service calls) without manually wiring health checks, connection strings, and observability.
Core Features & Use Cases
- AppHost configuration for orchestration: Define infrastructure resources and add application projects with the right references and endpoints.
- Service defaults for consistent resilience & observability: Centralize OpenTelemetry, health checks, service discovery, and HttpClient resilience.
- Discovery-based service communication: Use Aspire-managed service discovery so services can call each other reliably using logical service names rather than hardcoded URLs.
Quick Start
Ask an AI to configure your Aspire AppHost and ServiceDefaults so your local multi-service setup uses OpenTelemetry, health checks, and service discovery automatically.
