aspire-configuration

separate

Configure Aspire AppHost to emit explicit app config via environment variables; keep app code free of Aspire clients and service discovery.

When to use

• Wiring AppHost resources to application configuration in Aspire-based repos
• Ensuring production configuration is transparent and portable outside of Aspire
• Avoiding Aspire client/service-discovery packages inside application code
• Designing feature toggles for dev/test without changing app code paths

When not to use

• Referencing Aspire client/service-discovery packages in application projects
• Relying on opaque service discovery that cannot be mirrored in production
• Hiding configuration behind Aspire-only abstractions
