A perfect match: Dapr & Azure Container Apps - Sander Molenkamp - NDC London 2023

Do you want to run containerized microservice applications with features like autoscaling, HTTPS ingress and traffic routing, but don't want the complexity of the full Kubernetes platform? Or maybe you just don't need the full flexibility that Kubernetes offers and rather trade that in for ease of use. If so, meet Azure Container Apps (ACA): an Azure service that lets you run containerized apps on a serverless platform.

To further ease your life as a developer, ACA includes full support for Dapr, the CNCF project for building portable and reliable microservices.

In this demo-heavy session you’ll learn how to run your microservice apps on ACA while solving common distributed systems problems such as service location, state management and pub/sub with Dapr.

searched for dapr on azure to get a better understanding of it, mostly around container apps and found this - absolutely brilliant presentation and Im looking forward to exploring dapr now after gaining far more understanding in an hour that I would have expected. Definitely going to search for more presentation by Sander. Great job

Awesome presentation. I like how uses a practical scenario for ACA implementation.

Very good presentation but honestly that architecture feels like death by 1000 configuration settings where every piece have to configured to talk to others and add to that all the deployment, scaling and monotoning configs.

I would honestly rather start with azure functions or even MS Orleans before using Dapr and azure container Apps.

But this was the BEST Dapr and ACS presentation I’ve seen.
