Details

On episode 84 of O11ycast, Ken Rimple and Martin Thwaites are joined by Maddy Montaquila of Microsoft. They dig into what makes .NET Aspire feel like magic: cloning a repository and having it simply run, and having telemetry present from the first minute of development. Maddy explains how service defaults switch on OpenTelemetry for you, why a local dashboard changes how developers debug, and what happens when teams stop waiting for production to see their traces.

Maddy Montaquila is a program manager at Microsoft and the product lead for .NET Aspire. She has spent more than seven years at Microsoft, with earlier work on MAUI and Blazor, and she pairs technical depth with a strong focus on the .NET developer experience.
