A Guide to Dapr - Open Source APIs and SDKs for Distributed Application Development

Explore the world of Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) in this informative 36-minute conference talk presented by Alice Gibbons and Samantha Coyle from Diagrid. Discover how Dapr simplifies the development of complex distributed applications by providing APIs and SDKs for various programming languages. Learn about Dapr's ability to abstract away the complexities of microservice development, handling challenges such as service discovery, invocation, observability, and resiliency. Gain insights into how Dapr sidecars enable developers to focus on business logic while writing secure, scalable, resilient, portable, and fault-tolerant applications. Understand the project's goals, its position as the 10th largest CNCF project, and its adoption by major companies like IBM, Alibaba Cloud, and Microsoft. Witness demonstrations of Dapr's capabilities in building scalable, containerized applications and explore its potential for both small containerized systems and large-scale Kubernetes deployments.
