#How much do you care about Aspire?

Marten is already good to go with .NET Aspire handling all the configuration for PostgreSQL is you want to do that, but Wolverine is a whole other issue. In their infinite wisdom, MS made several of the other Aspire packages (like for Rabbit MQ) depend on alternative host builders besides the IHostBuilder that Wolverine exclusively supports today
Where there are absolutely plans already in place to eliminate the IHostBuilder limitation in Wolverine, it's not going to be a quick win and most likely forces us to do the Wolverine 3.0 work that also includes the decoupling of Lamar
My question for the rest of the class is "how much do you care?"

Personally, I have zero interest in Aspire

Just started experimenting with Aspire, I think it's very cool, even in it's first release. The docker things it does are extremely convenient and the dashboard view of the system, each components' status, and the telemetry is a lot of great information in one place.
Yes, you can do all of this yourself with individual tools; but for most developers, being able to drop an AppHost project into any solution is too convenient to dismiss.
Whether or not this pushes independent package developers out is another story.
The first project I added this too is a basic API and front-end with Marten and everything is working nicely. Ultimately I just followed https://jeremydmiller.com/2024/05/01/marten-postgresql-and-net-aspire-walk-into-a-bar/ and it worked.
