Starting a new system from scratch with .NET Aspire affords the opportunity to document and automate the resources necessary for running the system such that you’ll always have a runnable system for anybody joining a team. Creating a new system starts with answering the questions around why the system should exist and what problem it solves, but then turns into design and implementation. Using an app model with Aspire in the early stages makes for a set of resources created deliberately and consistently provisioned on the workstations of team members and with some help for moving to canonical environments.
