Who ever wrote this article clearly used AI and the AI was hallucinating — some aspects are inaccurate and misrepresented.

Hi, I'm James. And in this video, you'll learn about how you can improve your local development of AWS Lambda functions using .NET Aspire. You'll learn how to emulate asynchronous event sources such as Amazon SQS, Amazon EventBridge, SNS, and Kinesis locally. The video introduces practical ways to test Lambda functions with event sources using Aspire's features. You'll see how to set up Lambda functions, handle SQS events, and performing integration tests, providing a comprehensive guide for a seamless and efficient development experience. 00:00 Introduction and Project Overview 00:29 Challenges with Emulating SQS Locally 00:50 Leveraging .NET Aspire for Local Development 01:50 Setting Up and Running Lambda Functions Locally 04:53 Custom Resource Commands in Aspire 10:24 Integration Testing with Aspire 14:11 Conclusion and Next Steps GitHub repo - https://github.com/jeastham1993/serverless-aspire Previous video on testing synchronous functions - https://youtu.be/Ph9w_EKZQU0 Custom Commands - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/aspire/fundamentals/custom-resource-commands Master Local Async Lambda Development with .NET Aspire

In my last video you learned the power of combining .NET Aspire with AWS Lambda for testing your functions locally. In this video, you go one step further.

You'll learn how you can test asynchronous Lambda functions locally.

YouTube video by dotnet AspiriFridays - James Montemagno + Feedback Flow

BIG NEWS!!! my bff @james.montemagno.com is joining #aspirifridays tomorrow so @damianedwards.com and I can help him fix the Aspirification of an app he built based on an app that @davidfowl.com built?! the shenanigans will be high. bingo included. SEE YOU TOMORROW! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIVs...

Updates to Spectre.Console's project model Patrik Svensson's blog

I committed first-degree blog posting today, diving into Spectre.Console’s upcoming project model and taking a page from Mitchell Hashimoto’s playbook.

.NET Aspire architecture overview - .NET Aspire Learn about the overall architecture of .NET Aspire, including its integrations, orchestration, and networking capabilities.

I'm curious if you saw one of our new docs (released during #build) @anthonysimmon.com — the learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspir... is the first time we've officially discussed DCP. I know, you were one of the first community members to talk about it. 🤓 #aspire

AspiriFridays is BACK TOMORROW! at 11am PST/2pm EST - and we have A GUEST!!! @seankilleen.com will be joining me and @damianedwards.com @davidpine.net ( @davidfowl.com will be watching) to aspireify his PRODUCTION CODE????? youtube.com/@dotnet

🤓 For the first time ever, we’re going deeper—detailing the underlying architecture (specifically, DCP) of #dotnet #aspire:

It's time for day 2 at Microsoft Build!

Come say hello at the GitHub Code Security booth👋

#MSBuild

From bottom left, following clockwise: Jose Perez, Damian Edwards, Stephen Toub, Allistair Matthews, David Fowler, Glenn Condron, Maddy Montaquila, Jeff Fritz, Steve Carroll, David Negstad, Aaron Powell, David Pine, Andy De George, Brady Gaster.

Some of the people responsible for #dotnet #aspire gathered together for a team dinner—via Microsoft Build. 🤓

After getting my badge and expert hoodie for Microsoft Build, I spent the day stomping around Seattle with a friend. We visited the #MoPOP and #spaceNeedle. It was a blast!

Aspire 9.3 new dashboard features, day 4:

Calls to resources that don’t record their own telemetry — like databases or caches — are now visible in the Traces page UI 🔥

You can also filter for them directly using the resource selector 🧙‍♂️

#dotnet #aspire

Who am I going to see at Microsoft Build this year?

I got a new phone and hadn't logged into bluesky for a bit. Playing catch up! This had me LOL’ing… I apparently belong to @davidfowl.com as a docs dev. 🤓

GitHub Copilot recommending .NET 7.

🙊 Uh oh...AI needs to make sure that it's keeping itself up to date with latest versions, especially for stuff like this.

🙈 .NET 7 was out of support May '24, but is recommended as latest.

🙉 I know, I know...thou shalt not say anything negative about AI.

#dotnet #copilot

Playing around with some Aspire-inspired (lol) improvements to integration test for minimal APIs.

How do we feel about this syntax for modifying the WebApplication being invoked under integration test scenarios?

#dotnet #aspnetcore

Happy New 🍾

Over the holiday I've been working on something for the #dotnet CLI that I think is cool. Most shells have pretty awesome tab-completion support, but we don't do a great job of integrating into them. I've been working on generating scripts for integrating into each shell's system for dotnet.

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete?

I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post.

Visual Studio: Successful Upgrade using the .NET Upgrade Assistant to CPM.

🤓 I recently learned that @VisualStudio supports a new Upgrade mode, where you can opt-in to Central Package Management (CPM). This is a lot cleaner in my opinion in terms of version management, and it's now easy to upgrade:

#dotnet #nuget

Micronetes dashboard.

.NET Aspire dashboard.

🤓 Micronetes -> Project Tye -> .NET Aspire

Any of this look familiar, it was a dashboard UX that was archived more nearly 5 years ago....

Here's the episode, but we didn't really do anything with .NET Aspire in it. This was a thought durning the stream that I had: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEY9...

Community Toolkit: .NET Aspire — HomeAssistant hosting integration.

.NET Aspire app host: Consuming the HomeAssistant integration.

.NET Aspire dashboard: Depicting running HomeAssistant persistent container with HTTP health check.

HomeAssistant welcome page.

🤓 Hey, look at how easy it is to integrate with .NET Aspire. I was inspired by our guest speaker that joined us On .NET Live to share his #HomeAssistant bits with #Kafka.
