The art of simplicity

A short post today; I’ll share an issue a encountered when trying to run a Dapr enabled application. This blog post wouldn’t add much value if I didn’t share a solution as well. Let me first start by refreshing your memory if you have no clue what Dapr is about. Feel free to skip this intro and move on to the next part if you already tried Dapr before. Introducing Dapr On their website, Dapr is described as: APIs for Building Secure and Reliable Microservices I don’t think that is the best description, but if you search deeper in the documentation, you find the following description: Dapr is a portable, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for any developer to build resilient, stateless, and stateful applications that run on the cloud and edge and embraces the diversity of languages and developer frameworks. That describes it perfectly! Want to know more? Check out this video: The issue… One of the nice features of Dapr is that you can use the Dapr C...

Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) is a free and open-source runtime system designed to support cloud-native and serverless computing It provides APIs that simplify microservice connectivity, enabling developers to write resilient and secure microservices. Dapr abstracts away the complexity of common challenges developers encounter regularly when building distributed applications, such as service discovery, message broker integration, encryption, observability, and secret management It runs as a sidecar wherever your application runs whether hosted on Kubernetes, VMs, deployed on the cloud, on-premises or on the edge. Although the documentation is great, it can still be a challenge to start building your first dapr enabled application. Therefore I can recommend the Dapr workshop ; it contains several hands-on assignments that will introduce you to Dapr. You will start with a simple microservices application that contains a number of services. In each assignment, you will ch...

What is Dapr ? Dapr helps developers build event-driven, resilient distributed applications. Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or on an edge device, Dapr helps you tackle the challenges that come with building microservices and keeps your code platform agnostic. The Dapr ecosystem keeps growing and now they’ll have their first virtual conference ‘DaprCon’ next week. DaprCon will include a variety of content including a keynote, technical sessions, panel discussions and real-world experiences of adopters building with Dapr DaprCon is a fully virtual event that will be streamed on YouTube and attendance is free!
