title: Frequently asked questions about .NET Aspire
summary: |
This article lists frequently asked questions about .NET Aspire. For a more comprehensive overview, see [.NET Aspire overview](../get-started/aspire-overview.md).

- question: |
When will .NET Aspire be released?
answer: |
.NET Aspire is now in its preview release phase, with monthly updates expected until the product reaches general availability (GA). The official release is planned for the first half of 2024. Stay updated by checking the [official .NET Aspire repository](https://github.com/dotnet/aspire) for more information.
- question: |
What's the difference between .NET Aspire and Microsoft Orleans?
answer: |
Microsoft Orleans and .NET Aspire are complementary technologies. Orleans is a distributed actor-based
framework. .NET Aspire is a cloud-ready stack for building observable, production ready, distributed
applications. It includes local orchestration capabilities to simplify the developer inner loop and
reusable opinionated components for integrating with commonly used application dependencies. An Orleans-based
solution will still have external dependencies such as data stores and caches for which .NET Aspire can be
used for orchestration purposes. We are planning to produce a sample for .NET Aspire that uses
Microsoft Orleans (see [GitHub issue](https://github.com/dotnet/aspire-samples/issues/20)).

What's the difference between .NET Aspire and Dapr?
answer: |
Dapr and .NET Aspire are complementary technologies. Where Dapr abstracts some of the underlying cloud
platform, .NET Aspire provides opinionated configuration around the underlying cloud technolgies without
abstracting them. A .NET-based application that uses Dapr can use .NET Aspire to orchestrate the local
developer inner loop and streamline deployment. .NET Aspire includes extensions which support the launching
for Dapr side-car processes during the inner loop.

- question: |
Are worker services supported in .NET Aspire?
answer: |
Due to a deployment related bug the preview 1 of .NET Aspire does not support deployment of worker
servers. As a work around consider deploying a web application as a worker which is not exposed
to the internet. We are currently tracking this issue and plan to have it resolved for preview 2 (see [GitHub issue](https://github.com/dotnet/aspire/issues/743)).

Are Azure Functions supported in .NET Aspire?
answer: |
We have no specific support for Azure Functions in preview 1 of .NET Aspire however it is a target
execution environment for depoyment that we are planning to support in future previews.
