JUST FUCKING USE ASPIRE

Stop duct-taping your stack.

You're still juggling YAML and hand-rolled scripts while Aspire orchestrates your front ends, APIs, containers, and databases from one AppHost—and it’s free and open source, you stubborn maniac.

Install the damn thing Always-free · Developer-first · No more ritual sacrifices

One AppHost to rule your chaos.

Aspire defines your stack in code and lets the Developer Control Plane light up every service locally or spit out deployment artifacts when you’re ready to ship—no rewrites, no excuses.

Polyglot? Hell yes.

.NET is the flagship, but Aspire happily wrangles Python via AddPythonApp, JavaScript apps via AddJavaScriptApp, plus Java, TypeScript, Go, and more without you juggling separate orchestrators.

Observability or get out.

OpenTelemetry-powered dashboards stream real-time logs, traces, and health checks straight into your face, so you watch the fire before your boss does.

The CLI isn’t optional.

Smash aspire run to mirror prod on your laptop, then aspire deploy when you want Bicep, Terraform, or YAML for your pipeline—same model, zero duct tape.

Integrations you already hoard.

Azure Container Apps, Redis, NATS, FastAPI, Ollama—Aspire’s gallery wires your Frankenstack without you hand-curating connection strings like a medieval scribe.

Local-first, production-ready.

Containers, executables, and emulators spin up locally with the same wiring you’ll ship, killing the “works on my machine” fairy tale once and for all.

Fight me with telemetry.

Aspire keeps logs, traces, health, and service discovery synced across every process—even your Python microservices and Vite front ends—so your distributed circus stays observable from day zero.

Community that actually ships.

From Xbox architects to indie hackers, teams brag about onboarding in hours because Aspire nukes the setup boss fight—hop into Discord, copy their wins, and stop overbuilding your boilerplate.

Receipts, because you’re paranoid.
