Reason for the article
We are introducing WaitFor and WaitForCompletion APIs in .NET Aspire 9.0 which will allow resource startup to be controlled for local development. This will also integrate with a health check mechanism for resources which runs within the app host.
Article abstract
The article would take a simple application that uses a database and has two services (front-end and backend) and talk through what could happen when starting all these projects locally. Issues like the database not be initialized (writing a console app to initialize the database and using the WaitForCompletion API) and waiting for dependent services to start.
