[Epic] Akka.NET .NET Aspire Support

[Aaronontheweb]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Obviously I'll need to write a bigger spec out, but putting this for tracking purposes and for users to signal their interest - should we add .NET Aspire support for Akka.NET?

[george-zubrienko]

.NET Aspire is designed to improve the experience of building .NET cloud-native apps.

I think what it achieves instead of vendor-locking to a single MS-approved solution. For this reason we only use WebHost + DI and no other stuff because all those silver bullet solutions MS cooks up are not consistent and have max 2 years lifetime. I'd wager it would be a massive burden to support Aspire and then smth else when it dies couple years later :)

Is this still on the roadmap? I've been using Aspire for local development for the past few months, and it's a really great tool for that!

Personally, I would be very interested in seeing some form of official support of Aspire by Akka.NET.

@jorik @lucavice this is still on the roadmap - Gregorius and I have been tied up working on a handful of important distributed systems bugs since about early June. I'll see if we can figure out a timeframe for putting together a PoC on this soon, now that 8.1 is out.
