Whether you are constructing a new cloud native app from scratch or migrating an existing application to the cloud, the task can be daunting. Orchestration, observability, logging, analytics, scalability, backing services, and many more considerations need to be addressed in order to get the most out of a cloud native app.

.NET Aspire provides the tools and capabilities to developers to untangle all of these concerns, tackle them with good defaults, and focus on building their app instead of configuring an endless sea of YAML files. There is a lot to cover with .NET Aspire. In this session, we will focus on three things:
* How to get started with .NET Aspire
* How to migrate an existing project into .NET Aspire.
* How to leverage .NET Aspire's orchestration features in your CI/CD pipeline.

We'll start at 5:30 PM CST, but feel free to grab a beverage and join a bit earlier!

Entity Framework Core has come a long way—recent releases finally address some of the most persistent challenges: sluggish queries, unreliable data, migration struggles, and the ongoing need for audit trails.
