We all love to aspire to be something better :) even robots!
.NET Aspire is a new way to build out microservice type projects. I believe I am correct in saying Aspire definitely had some foundations from project TYE which was an experiment a year or so back.
In addition, DAPR is also a similar offering however, Aspire aims to be rather opinionated (which can be a good thing!) and DAPR is more of a pick and choose offering.
Anyway, a few links below, but take a listen for some further ramblings!
Some info on how Aspire and DAPR are different but complimentary
DAPR - the distributed application runtime thingy!
Until next time, take care.
