Aspire

This is a comprehensive reference for .NET Aspire, Microsoft's distributed application orchestration platform. The skill covers everything from AppHost configuration to polyglot service integration across C#, Python, Go, JavaScript, and other languages. It includes detailed CLI commands, MCP server setup for AI-assisted development, and deployment patterns for Docker, Kubernetes, and Azure. What's particularly solid here is the structured approach to documentation lookup and the practical examples showing how Aspire acts as a conductor for containerized microservices. You'd reach for this when building cloud-native apps that need service discovery, observability, and orchestration across multiple runtimes.

Aspire — Polyglot Distributed-App Orchestration

Aspire is a code-first, polyglot toolchain for building observable, production-ready distributed applications. It orchestrates containers, executables, and cloud resources from a single AppHost project — regardless of whether the workloads are C#, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java, Rust, Bun, Deno, or PowerShell.

Mental model: The AppHost is a conductor — it doesn't play the instruments, it tells every service when to start, how to find each other, and watches for problems.
