Decoding .NET8: Unveiling cloud-native obserabillity

The .NET programming language is taking cloud native deployment and observability seriously, and most notably with the recent announcement of .NET Aspire stack announced at the recent .NET Conf 2023.

In this special live stream of OpenObservability Talks, we’ll review the open source maintainers’ journey to making .NET a "by default, out of the box observable platform", as ASP.NET Core creator David Fowler put it. Dotan Horovits will host David Fowler, and together they will dive into .NET Aspire and how it simplifies the complexities of cloud app development with capabilities around service discovery, observability, and resilience. We’ll discuss the local developer experience, the path to developer observability, and what we can expect from the upcoming GA release of .NET8.
