So may exciting things happening in the Aspire space. What do you want to see with AWS and Aspire?
Aspire really lights up your developer experience. Today is a huge milestone as we have GA support for Typescript. If you haven’t given it a try yet, take 5 mins to play with it! Super easy to get started: aspire.dev/get-started/first…

Prepping today for my Aspire AWS talk on Monday at #aspireconf. Feels ominous prepping while listening to Star Wars Revenge of the Sith soundtrack. conf.aspire.dev?cid=aspireco…

Now getting motivated listening to Braveheart. Hopefully the talk goes better than the end for William Wallace.

Starting the year strong at AWS for .NET with .NET 10 support Lambda. A new feature we added for .NET 10 is support for writing C# file based Lambda functions. Would love to hear feedback on the new support. aws.amazon.com/blogs/compute…

AWS local development for .NET has always been a juggling act: Lambdas here, DynamoDB there, SNS/SQS somewhere else—and a bunch of scripts and tools holding everything together. With .NET Aspire 13, that story changes. This is seriously awesome for .NET Developers working with AWS Resources. I just published a new hands-on guide where we use Aspire and the AWS Aspire Hosting package to build a serverless notifications system that talks to real AWS services (DynamoDB, SNS, SQS), while keeping the entire local experience orchestrated from a single AppHost: 🔗 AWS Local Development with .NET Aspire – Build a Serverless Notifications System codewithmukesh.com/blog/aws-… In this article, we: - Use Aspire’s AppHost AWS CDK integration to provision a DynamoDB table, SNS topic, and SQS queue. - Run Producer and Dispatcher Lambdas locally via the LambdaServiceEmulator. - Trigger everything end-to-end using the Lambda Test Tool UI—no extra console apps required. - Keep contracts in a shared library, and let Aspire wire environment variables and AWS resources for us. If you’re a .NET developer building on AWS and still doing local orchestration manually, this combo of Aspire AWS can seriously level up your dev experience.

Thanks @mjovanovictech for showing off the work we have been doing for AWS Aspire.
.NET Aspire isn’t just for Azure. In my new video I show how to run Aspire on AWS: - CDK CloudFormation infra - Orders API → SNS → SQS flow - OpenTelemetry tracing 🚀 Watch it here: youtu.be/SH-sTdf2YMs

Most .NET devs don’t know this AWS messaging library exists. If you're using SQS or SNS, check out AWS.Messaging. In this video, I'll show you how to: - Publish/consume events - Add retry/backoff - Fan-out with SNS - Use typed publishers Check it out: youtu.be/wmsioOgVTmI

NET Developers - You can create sophisticated AI applications with minimal infrastructure code by combining .NET Aspire with AWS services like Amazon Bedrock and Amazon OpenSearch Service. Learn how in this post. 🧠 aws.amazon.com/blogs/dotnet/… #dotnet #AWS

Sad to hear of George Wendt passing. The man that made Norm a lovable name. Much better than the other Norman I was teased with as a kid Norman Bates.
