This talk was given at Future Tech 2026.

Multi-service applications are powerful, but developing them locally can quickly turn into a maze of terminals, ports, scripts, and “works on my machine” moments. In this live-coding–only session, Maddy and Eduard take a real multi-service application with an Angular front-end and bring it under control using Aspire orchestration. Step by step, they introduce Aspire and show how it becomes the single source of truth for running, observing, and evolving multi-service software, regardless of the language your services are written in. As the session unfolds, you’ll see the local development experience improve dramatically: fewer manual steps, better visibility, smarter defaults, and a setup that actually scales with your architecture. No slides, no theory overload, just hands-on coding and practical insights. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what Aspire is, why it’s the #1 go-to tool for multi-service software development, and how you can use it to make local development faster, clearer, and far more enjoyable.
