There's an emerging piece of open source tech I'm very excited about. If you haven't heard of Dapr, it's one of the newest additions to the Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) and promises to provide portable and reliable microservices. While on the surface that may sound great, a lot of you may be wondering "ok but what is it? how does it work?" While analogies and comparisons will never be perfect, I love to use them to help me contextualize. So while the comparison is imperfect, I personally think of Dapr like jQuery for microservices.
