[00:02] for quite a while now, and that's for a very good reason. Starting from Aspire very good reason. Starting from Aspire 13.4, you can write your app hosts in TypeScript. Here's an example of what it looks like. You start by creating your
[00:15] distributed application builder, then you can add your resources with a similar API that you're probably used to from the C# app host. So, we're adding a Redis resource as a cache service. And now, let's also add an API. Now, what's
[00:29] interesting is that we can host more than .NET applications. We can also host Node applications and a few more, but more on that in a moment. So, with the Node integration, you give it a name and point it toward the application files.
[00:43] You can expose an HTTP endpoint, and of course, you can add a reference to a Redis cache by calling with reference. This injects the connection string at runtime. And finally, to run everything with the TypeScript app host, you say
[00:57] builder.Build and run, and all the magic happens under the hood. You can run this using the Aspire CLI, and you type in the command Aspire run, which is going to pick up your TypeScript app host and scaffold the Aspire dashboard, all
[01:11] pretty much identical to the C# experience. You can open up the Aspire dashboard and see your resources there. So, we've got our cache and the API. We can look at the resources graph to see how they're connected, and of course, we
[01:26] can send a request to our Node API. And if we send a get request to the API's response back, and it also has an increment to track how many times we update a counter in Redis, and you can see that with each subsequent request,
[01:42] the counter increases by one, which means that our connection to Redis is working correctly. And remember that we did all of this from the Aspire app host thought that was it, I've got more surprises. Aspire now also has a Go
[01:58] hosting integration and a bun hosting integration, as well as a preview Blazer WebAssembly hosting integration. So, I think it's absolutely amazing how rich the Aspire ecosystem is becoming. And if you want to learn more, I'm going to
[02:12] drop a link in the pinned comment and the description of this video for an awesome talk about Aspire from Maddie and David Fowler. Over to you. Let me know in the comments what you think about the direction that Aspire is going
[02:24] in. And if you've used the Aspire app host with Dapr,
