In collaboration with .NET South West, we have two fantastic talks lined up on .NET Aspire and Static Sites with Astro
‘Building Cloud-Native Applications with .NET Aspire’ – Carl Sargunar (Technical Director, Mondo Media)
.NET Aspire is a relatively new but rapidly emerging opinionated framework, designed to help developers navigate the complexities of building cloud-native distributed applications. It’s built on top of the familiar .NET ecosystem, but what makes Aspire special is how it simplifies some of the trickiest aspects of cloud development—like service discovery, configuration management, observability, and modular application design—all while keeping scalability and cloud-readiness front and center.
In this session, we’ll start by setting up a brand-new Aspire application, looking at everything from local development to handling the various challenges of deployment in production. Along the way, we’ll dive into Aspire’s history, its core principles, and where it fits in the .NET ecosystem.
Now, full disclaimer—I’m no Aspire expert (and let’s be honest, with how new it is, nobody really is yet), but that’s kind of the point. Whether you’re completely new to Aspire, just starting to dip your toes in, or have been exploring it for a while, this session is about learning together. We’ll be sharing what we know, discovering how .NET Aspire can make our lives easier when building distributed cloud applications, and maybe even figuring out where we go next with it as a community.
‘Bake, Don’t Fry – Astro & The Content Delivery API’ Adam Prendergast (Technical Director, Absurd)
Are you ready to revolutionise your Website Development development with the power of Umbraco CMS and static sites? The Content Delivery API has opened a world of possibilities for headless applications, including allowing us to embrace swift, scalable pre-rendered sites.
In this session, we’ll dive into the concept of ‘Bake, Don’t Fry’ and the world of static site generation, spotlighting Astro as a leading framework.
We’ll explore how to go from a basic Astro setup to introducing the Content Delivery API for a CMS-powered static site. We’ll look at improving the developer workflow with TypeScript, streamlining the publishing process, and showcasing cost-efficient hosting solutions.
I’ll guide you through Astro code examples and show how you can enhance the development process, leaving you equipped to make informed decisions about integrating this innovative strategy into your projects.
