JavaScript Now a First-Class Citizen in Aspire

Microsoft’s Aspire framework, designed for orchestrating the deployment of distributed applications, has reached a major milestone with the release of Aspire 13. Originally focused on .NET, Aspire now makes JavaScript a first-class citizen, allowing developers to run Vite and full-stack JS apps with integrated service discovery, telemetry, and production-ready features.

This update opens the door for JavaScript developers to leverage Aspire’s robust orchestration tools, streamlining the deployment and management of complex, multi-service applications. Aspire 13’s support for JavaScript means teams can now build, monitor, and scale distributed systems using familiar JS tools alongside .NET components.

With Aspire 13, Microsoft is bridging the gap between .NET and JavaScript ecosystems, empowering developers to create modern, scalable apps with enhanced observability and operational efficiency.
