From Localhost to Liftoff: Aspire for Newbies
What happens when you learn Aspire alongside someone seeing it for the first time? David walks Claudia through a live, beginner-friendly tour — from localhost to the cloud. Expect real questions, clear explanations, and a fresh look at how Aspire handles orchestration, observability, and service composition today. Whether you’re new or catching up, you’ll leave with a simple mental model and a clear way to explain Aspire to your team.

Aspire to Be Agentic: Designing Distributed Agentic Systems Without the Chaos
Agentic systems are inherently distributed: multiple agents, multiple services, multiple languages. And right from the start, things get messy fast. Silent failures. Unclear execution paths. Too many “What tool did the agent call?” moments. Aspire’s polyglot support and built-in observability help you bring order to the chaos. You’ll see how much easier your life becomes when building agentic applications with Aspire.

Beyond Telemetry: Supercharging DevEx with the Aspire Dashboard
Aspire is often positioned as a way to model and run distributed applications, but its biggest impact is how it improves the everyday developer experience. In this talk, we'll focus on small, practical features in Aspire that reduce friction during local development and testing. Rather than adding complexity, these capabilities help you move faster with fewer context switches. Get some concrete ideas for using Aspire to make your app dev more approachable, safer to operate, and easier to work on day to day. Aspire doesn’t just help you run distributed apps—it helps you think less while building them.

Coding Agents Need Aspire Too
Your coding agents are only as good as the context they can access. Aspire hands them the keys — your entire app topology, real-time logs and traces, and resource commands like stop and restart — all with zero setup. You'll see how Aspire turns your agents from helpful assistants into full-stack collaborators you can actually trust.

From Microservices to Water Sensors: End-to-End Testing with Aspire
In this session, Andres will walk through how he uses Aspire to test an end-to-end pipeline that spans from cloud microservices to physical IoT devices — specifically an automated irrigation system powered by Arduino sensors and water pumps. You'll learn how Aspire's orchestration and integration testing capabilities can verify not just your web APIs and databases, but the full journey of data from a soil moisture sensor through HTTP endpoints to a real-time dashboard. Whether you're building traditional web apps or pushing Aspire into unconventional territory, you'll walk away with practical patterns for reliable end-to-end testing.

One AppHost, Many Languages
Aspire makes polyglot systems feel like one product by letting you run and wire everything through a single AppHost. Chris will show some popular patterns - like a Go backend + Vite frontend, Python API + JS frontend, Spring Boot with PostgreSQL, and C# API with CosmosDB. You'll see the same repeatable workflow for local dev, service discovery, and config across Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, and .NET, without the usual chaotic repo setup and onboarding.
