Book Description

Use the new, enticing, and highly portable event-driven runtime to simplify building resilient and scalable microservices for cloud and edge applicationsKey FeaturesBuild resilient, stateless, and stateful microservice applications that run on the cloud and edgeLea how to expose and operate Dapr applications with multiple optionsSolve common distributed systems such as low latency and scaling using any language and frameworkBook DescriptionDapr offers platform-agnostic features for running your applications anywhere, from the public cloud to edge deployments.This second edition will help you get to grips with microservice architectures and how to manage application complexities with Dapr in no time. You'll understand how Dapr simplifies development while allowing you to work with multiple languages and platforms. Following a C# sample, you'll understand how Dapr's runtime, building blocks, and software development kits (SDKs) help you to simplify the creation of resilient and portable microservices.Dapr provides an event-driven runtime that supports the essential features you need to build microservices, including service invocation, state management, and publish/subscribe messaging. You'll explore all of those in addition to various other advanced features with this practical guide to leaing Dapr. With a focus on deploying the Dapr sample application to an Azure Kubeetes Service cluster and to the Azure Container Apps serverless platform, the book will also teach you how to expose the Dapr application with NGINX, YARP, and Azure API Management.By the end of this book, you'll write microservices easily by implementing industry best practices to solve problems related to distributed systems.What you will leaUse Dapr to create services, invoking them directly and via pub/subDiscover best practices for working with microservice architecturesLeverage the actor model to orchestrate data and behaviorExpose API built with Dapr applications via NGINX and Azure API ManagementUse Azure Kubeetes Service to deploy a sample applicationMonitor Dapr applications using Zipkin, Prometheus, and GrafanaCombine Dapr with a serverless platform leaing Azure Container AppsScale and load test Dapr applications on KubeetesWho This Book Is ForThis book is for developers looking to explore microservices architectures and implement them in Dapr applications using Microsoft .NET examples.
