camel-k VS dapr

The following two examples are open-source projects maintained by Fermyon with contributions from companies like Microsoft and SUSE. The first is Spin, which allows us to use WebAssembly to create Serverless applications. The second, SpinKube, combines some of the topics I'm most excited about these days: WebAssembly and Kubernetes Operators :) The official website says, "By running applications in the Wasm abstraction layer, SpinKube offers developers a more powerful, efficient, and scalable way to optimize application delivery on Kubernetes." By the way, this post shows how to integrate SpinKube with Dapr, another technology I'm very interested in, and I should write some posts soon.

Speaking of this has anyone had much experience with Dapr (https://dapr.io/) before?

I always thought this was a particularly interesting approach from Microsoft where they use this pattern to essentially take the complexity of micro services and instead try and keep it as simple as a normal .NET application but (and I think this is the clever part) in both a vendor and language neutral way.

But all of a sudden it means you can start removing all kinds of cruft and random SDKs from your codebase and push almost all of your interactions with the outside world into something like this .

Azure Container Apps hosting of Azure Functions is a way to host Azure Functions directly in Container Apps - additionally to App Service with and without containers. This offering also adds some Container Apps built-in capabilities like the Dapr microservices framework which would allow for mixing microservices workloads on the same environment with Functions.

Having containers is nice but everything (well ... nearly everything 😉) gets better with Dapr as an outstanding tool for app development in the container-based area. Here we go what might be worth a look:

Anyone using or planing to use darp Distributed application platform runtime as a microservices platform? https://dapr.io/

A CNCF project, the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr) provides APIs that simplify microservice connectivity. Whether your communication pattern is service to service invocation or pub/sub messaging, Dapr helps you write resilient and secured microservices. Essentially, it provides a new way to build microservices by using the reusable blocks implemented as sidecars.

Dapr is a runtime that implements common patterns such as pub/sub, state storage, etc. It runs as a sidecar to your app. Your app then interfaces with it using an sdk or http calls to use said patterns instead of implementing those patterns directly yourself. Seems pretty cool to me, but you can find out more at https://dapr.io/.

- Over 21k stars on GitHub, see the core repo and devstats.

I would like to build modules, either in a modular monolith style, or in a microservice style using DAPR and/or Tye.

Just heard about Dapr last week. Might be more than what you are asking, though but it’s probably worth a look.
