Stop implementing the same error-prone boilerplate code over and over again. Learn Dapr, a new event-driven runtime from Microsoft that helps build microservice applications, using a palette of languages and frameworks.
When it comes to implementation, developers using microservices have a lot to think about and many decisions to make on the design level. One of the most popular architectural patterns for implementing a large and complex solution is the microservices architecture pattern. It enables you to organize your overall solution into a set of "sub" services where each is responsible for handling a separate business capability.
This book shows you how the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) provides significant added value to your project. Part I of the book is all about getting started. You are guided through a quick study of microservices, what Dapr is, where it offers value, and how to get up and running with it. You will learn about the two options for hosting Dapr, either as a standalone process or in Kubernetes. Part II is all about building blocks. The useful patterns and practices come as building blocks in Dapr and each building block is given its own chapter. In Part III you will explore some of the more advanced concepts, including using a custom middleware, using Dapr with application frameworks such as ASP.NET Core or technologies such as Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions.
After learning about Dapr from a functional perspective, author Radoslav Gatev shows you how to configure your local development environment in Visual Studio Code.
