.NET Aspirations - Embracing OpenTelemetry
In my previous .NET Aspire blog post, we talked about using .NET Aspire to orchestrate the different parts of our web application. However, the .NET Aspire dashboard did not show any telemetry (traces, metrics, or structured logging) because we did not instrument the API or front-end code. We are going to change that in this article, and see how we can easily integrate OpenTelemetry into our application.

You could also use Visual Studio Code.
What are Custom Integrations in .NET Aspire?
In the earlier blog post, I showed how to configure a Curity Identity Server container in a .NET Aspire solution. In this blog post, I'll continue refactoring the Curity configuration to be even more straightforward and reusable. I'll introduce you to the .NET Aspire concept called Custom Integrations, and especially to hosting integrations.
.NET Aspirations - Tailor It To Your Stack
You might have already seen blog posts and videos showing how .NET Aspire can enhance our local development environment, using an example with a Blazor SPA and an ASP.NET Core API. However, not everyone uses Blazor; many prefer a JavaScript framework for front-end development. Fortunately, we can still benefit from .NET Aspire regardless of our stack. In this article, we will explore how to use .NET Aspire to develop an application composed of an ASP.NET Core back end and a Nuxt front end.
