Let's review for example Traefik's dependency list: https://github.com/traefik/traefik/blob/master/go.mod
1. Heavy dependency on Github.
2. Many packages are referencing a git commit instead of a version.
3. Stuff like ambiguous imports because apparently nothing enforces proper go.mod files?

Currently, the only supported way to use Aspire on Windows requires either Podman or Docker Desktop to be installed. If, for whatever reason, you can't use either of these 2 options, there is another way to connect .NET Aspire directly to Docker running on WSL. But be warned - setting up this option isn't simple, isn't supported, and has some limitations. If you need something that is simple and supported, use Podman or Docker Desktop.

consul
Consul is a distributed, highly available, and data center aware solution to connect and configure applications across dynamic, distributed infrastructure.
Consul, HashiCorp's distributed system tool, isn't just a one-trick pony for service discovery—it's a Swiss Army knife that also handles configuration management and network segmentation.

Helm's first major release in six years, v4, is now available. In this article, I'll explore the key changes: switching from 3-Way Merge to Server-Side Apply, support for WASM plugins, improved resource readiness tracking, content-based chart caching, and more.

Depending on what other (additional) features you're willing to accept, the GoHarbor[0] registry supports pull-through as well as mirroring and other features, it's a nice registry that also supports other OCI stuff like Helm charts, and does vulnerability scanning with "Interrogation Services" like Trivy.
I've been using it at home and work for a few years now, might be a bit overkill if you just want a simple registry, but is a really nice tool for anyone who can benefit from the other features.

- Project mention: Why Serverless Architecture Might Be the Future (But Not for Everyone) 🚀 | dev.to | 2025-02-27
Here’s a GitHub repo for an open-source serverless framework, if you want to experiment without full cloud lock-in.

I understand the point you're really making. FWIW, I run Windows and Linux under Parallels and it works great. Colima is excellent, too: https://github.com/abiosoft/colima

dapr
Dapr is a portable runtime for building distributed applications across cloud and edge, combining event-driven architecture with workflow orchestration.
Since I first laid eyes and hands on Dapr when it was created in 2019, I have been fascinated by the potential of building distributed applications with it. The Dapr team has been working hard to make it easier to build microservices and distributed systems ever since. Workflows had been added with release 1.15 and AI agent support started showing up in spring 2025. When I learned about Dapr workflows and agents on this episode just recently, I wanted to explore how Dapr can be used to create agentic workflows.

This is different from having Cursor write Terraform or Pulumi. Those tools let you define infrastructure explicitly, which means Cursor would need to generate proper Terraform configurations, understand AWS resource dependencies, and manage state correctly. AI-generated infrastructure code risks hallucinations that create security vulnerabilities, resource misconfigurations, and version conflicts - meaning you need to carefully review thousands of lines of generated IaC before deploying.
