It's a Polyglot World of Stateless Functions and Stateful Actors

Explore the world of serverless applications in this 36-minute conference talk from CNCF's KubeCon + CloudNativeCon. Dive into the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr), an open-source, vendor-neutral project that enables developers to create portable, polyglot applications combining stateless functions and stateful actors. Learn how Dapr addresses the limitations of traditional serverless platforms by supporting multiple programming languages and frameworks while providing built-in state management, distributed tracing based on Open Telemetry, and pub/sub functionality using Cloud Events. Discover how to leverage Dapr to build highly available serverless applications that can run on any cloud, overcoming the challenges of cloud-specific implementations and limited stateful service support.
