Overview
Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) is an open-source, portable, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for developers to build resilient, microservice stateless and stateful applications that run on the cloud and edge. Dapr embraces the diversity of all programming languages and frameworks and simplifies building applications by providing APIs for common capabilities, such as service invocation, state management, pub/sub, resource bindings, actors, workflow, and more. It abstracts away the complexities of distributed systems challenges, such as service discovery, message brokering, and state management, allowing developers to focus on writing business logic. Dapr's component model allows integration with various infrastructure backends, such as message queues and databases, through configuration changes without modifying the application code. It provides built-in security, observability, and resiliency features, ensuring production-ready applications with minimal boilerplate code.
