Future Tech 2024: DAPR and .NET Aspire: A royal wedding – Florian van Dillen

In the realm of software development, distributed applications have emerged as a powerful tool that deserves an equally powerful local development experience. The combination of Dapr and Aspire provides just that, enabling developers to run and debug their applications on their local machines with professional ease. This not only enhances the efficiency of the development process but also allows for a more in-depth understanding of the application’s functionality and potential areas of improvement. In our upcoming session, we will delve into the intricacies of setting up a basic project. This will involve a comprehensive exploration of various Dapr components, each of which plays a crucial role in the overall functioning of the application. By understanding these components, developers can gain insights into how they can best utilize them to optimize their applications. Additionally, we will demonstrate how our applications interact with each other using OpenTelemetry. This interaction is key to ensuring seamless communication between different parts of the application, thereby enhancing its performance and user experience. Lastly, we will discuss how this local development setup can simplify your next deployment to Azure Container Apps or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). With the knowledge and experience gained from running and debugging your application locally, deploying it on these platforms will feel like a walk in the park. This ease of deployment not only saves time and resources but also allows for more frequent updates and improvements to your application, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of technology and continues to meet the needs of its users. So, join us in this session and take your local development experience to the next level!
