This allows for implementing distributed systems in a language and platform-independent manner, according to best practices and patterns. Operating on this higher level of abstraction as a developer brings significant benefits but also involves important trade-offs; in this session, Marc Klefter will explore these aspects by guiding you through the building blocks of Dapr and how it solves typical cloud native application challenges, adoption strategies for greenfield and migration (i.e. moving away from direct integration with vendor-specific services) scenarios, dealing with edge cases and extending Dapr with custom capabilities, how it compares to related technologies such as service meshes, and the organizational implications for application and platform engineering teams. After this talk, you'll have gained a pathway for implementing and deploying Dapr in production and addressing common issues and pitfalls, based on learnings from organizations that have faced and solved them in the recent past.
