What this skill does
Configuring Akka.NET with .NET Aspire When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: Setting up a new Akka.NET project with .NET Aspire orchestration Configuring Akka.Cluster with cluster bootstrapping and discovery Integrating Akka.Persistence with SQL Server Setting up Akka.Management for cluster management Configuring multi-replica actor systems in local development Deploying Akka.NET applications to Kubernetes with Aspire Related Skills akka-net-management - Deep dive into Akka.Management, Cluster Bootstrap, and discovery providers (Kubernetes, Azure, Config) microsoft-extensions-configuration - IValidateOptions patterns for configuration validation akka-net-best-practices - Cluster/local mode abstractions for testable actor systems aspire-integration-testing - Testing Aspire applications with real infrastructure Core Principles 1. Configuration via Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration - Use strongly-typed settings classes bound from appsettings.json (see microsoft-extensions-configuration skill) 2. Akka.Hosting for DI Integration - Use the Akka.Hosting library for seamless ASP.NET Core integration 3. Aspire for Orchestration - Let Aspire manage service dependencies, networking, and environment configuration 4. Health Checks - Always configure health checks for clustering, persistence, and readiness 5. Separate Concerns - Keep actor definitions, configuration, and Aspire orchestration in separate layers 6. …
