Integrating dockerized services with .NET Aspire – an example with Prometheus
Most Aspire examples focus on using services with native Aspire integrations, and the community has provided many popular .NET libraries as Aspire-compatible NuGet packages. In this recipe, however, we’ll take a different approach by setting up Prometheus. Prometheus is a powerful monitoring tool that provides persistent telemetry data suitable for production, in contrast to Aspire’s temporary telemetry. We will set up Prometheus in a separate Docker container and integrate it into our Aspire project. Although Aspire is primarily designed to minimize reliance on Docker, adding containerized services allows us to extend Aspire’s capabilities, orchestrating a broader range of tools and services within the same environment.
