DAPR: An introduction by Aneesh Rastogi

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. In addition Dapr is platform
agnostic meaning you can run your applications locally, on any Kubernetes cluster, and other hosting environments that Dapr
integrates with. This enables you to build micro-service applications that can run on the cloud and edge.
