We previously looked at Aspire components, special libraries used by .NET Aspire to wrap commonly used applications and infrastructure components. These libraries consist of containers, but it’s simpler to use them instead of using containers directly. After all, Aspie components were specifically designed to work in Aspire. Today, we will look at the components that represent […]

In the previous article, we discussed enabling single sign-on authentication in .NET Aspire. Today, you will learn how to do it using a Keycloak container. The material presented in this article serves two purposes: The sample solution we will be talking about is available here. In order to be able to follow this article, you would need

If you publish a web application and make it publicly accessible, you will want to make sure only authorized users can access it, unless, of course, your application is just a trivial website. Applications orchestrated by .NET Aspire are no exception. Because .NET Aspire is a platform for building complex distributed applications, chances are that

Having automated test coverage for our software apps is very important. Although manual tests sometimes have their place, automated tests allow us to verify the validity of our application logic much more efficiently than any manual tests would. Automated tests also allow us to check if a change in one part of the codebase hasn’t

As well as being able to orchestrate .NET projects, Aspire can also orchestrate the so-called Aspire components. These components are special libraries that add popular packages to our distributed application, which include the following: Today, we will talk about Aspire components, why they are useful, and how to add them to our applications. But first, let

When we look at the Resources tab of the .NET Aspire dashboard, we find the State column in the table displayed there. This column shows the current status of each service managed by the .NET Aspire. Ideally, we want each of these services to be shown as Running with the green tick next to it, as the following screenshot demonstrates: We

Today, we will talk about the process of monitoring applications orchestrated by .NET Aspire. But before we do it, let’s remind ourselves why monitoring is something we absolutely must have in our applications. Monitoring applications is crucial for several reasons: Let’s now look at the different types of monitoring available to us. Components of monitoring

.NET Aspire is an orchestration technology introduced in November 2022 alongside the .NET 8 release. And since it was released, it took the .NET community by storm. This technology allows developers to easily build and debug distributed applications locally, which was traditionally hard to do. With .NET Aspire, you don’t have to install many external
