# Aspire
## What is Aspire?
Aspire is a multi-language, code-first toolchain for building, running, and deploying distributed applications.
Describe how services, frontends, containers, databases, caches, and connections fit together in code. The Aspire CLI runs the whole app locally, exposes OpenTelemetry-based observability, and carries the same definition into deployment.
## A simple app definition
The same application definition can be written in different languages.
**C#** (`apphost.cs`)
 [code] 
**TypeScript** (`apphost.ts`)
 [code]
