Start building distributed applications with ease using building block APIs
Are you interested in building distributed applications or microservice architectures, but don't know where to start? Join this session and learn how the Dapr building block APIs can make your life easier! Dapr, the Distributed Application Runtime, provides a set of common APIs that speeds up microservice development. As a graduated CNCF project, Dapr is used in production by companies like IBM, Alibaba Cloud & Microsoft and is a trusted OSS technology backed by a large developer community. This code heavy session covers the most popular building blocks of Dapr: service invocation, pub/sub messaging, and state management. In addition, the built-in cross-cutting concerns such as resiliency, observability, and security are covered. Code samples & live demos will be provided in .NET. After this session, you'll have a good understanding how Dapr can help you build reliable distributed applications faster.
