Aspirifying the Enterprise: Building Modern Apps with Aspire with Joydip Kanjilal
Strategic Technology Consultation Services This episode of The Modern .NET Show is supported, in part, by RJJ Software's Strategic Technology Consultation Services. If you're an SME (Small to Medium Enterprise) leader wondering why your technology investments aren't delivering, or you're facing critical decisions about AI, modernization, or team productivity, let's talk. Show Notes "It is providing you a… unified stack, a cloud ready stack for building distributed applications where the configuration… you can say the configuration files that we usually maintain, like YAML files, XML files, json files. So it is generally taken care of those nitty gritties."— Joydip Kanjilal Hey everyone, and welcome back to The Modern .NET Show; the premier .NET podcast, focusing entirely on the knowledge, tools, and frameworks that all .NET developers should have in their toolbox. I'm your host Jamie Taylor, bringing you conversations with the brightest minds in the .NET ecosystem. Today, Joydip Kanjilal returned to the show to talk about Aspire and where it fits in the modern enterprise application stack. We also talk about how Aspire isn't just for microservices or nanoservices, it will work quite well with modular monoliths, too. As long as your application code isn't highly coupled. "Maintaining large scale distributed systems requires deep visibility into… how the services are interacting, how the services are behaving over a period of time. So that helps enterprises to understand how the applications are behaving. If something goes wrong, what went wrong? Why is it that the application is not being able to scale? why is it not… able to handle, more you know, requests in a specific period? What are the security loopholes and everything?"— Joydip Kanjilal One side note: we recorded this episode shortly before Aspire was rebranded from ".NET Aspire". So if you're listening in wondering, "wait. That's not what it's called," please bear with us because we both used the old branding for half of the episode. Let's hope that the PM for Aspire, Maddy Montaquila, doesn't notice. Sorry Maddy.
