Introduction to Cloud-Native Application Development on Azure with .NET Aspire, Dapr, Orleans

English Intermediate Other

In this introductory-level session, we'll explore the landscape of modern application development, focusing on the use of .NET Aspire, Dapr, Microsoft Orleans, and Azure - Microsoft's robust cloud platform. .NET Aspire, an emerging cloud-ready stack, facilitates the creation of observable, production-ready, distributed applications. We'll provide an introductory overview of .NET Aspire, highlighting its key features, benefits, and its seamless integration with Azure. We'll also delve into Dapr, a portable, event-driven runtime that simplifies the building of microservices-based applications, and Microsoft Orleans, a framework that enables straightforward construction of distributed, high-scale computing applications. The session will feature a practical demonstration, illustrating the capabilities and integrations of .NET Aspire, Dapr, and Microsoft Orleans and how to deploy and manage them using Azure. This hands-on approach will provide attendees with a practical understanding of these tools in real-world scenarios. Furthermore, we'll discuss how these technologies can be integrated with popular programming languages and frameworks, showcasing their flexibility. The session will conclude with a forward-looking discussion on future enhancements in .NET Aspire, Dapr, Microsoft Orleans, and Azure. By the end of this session, attendees will gain a basic understanding of these tools and be inspired to explore these technologies further in their journey into application development. Join us in this session to kickstart your journey into cloud-native application development on Azure!
