These range from manufacturing to automotive to financial services and more. Security is at the forefront of Dapr’s efforts. By interacting with cloud infrastructure such as databases, message brokers, secret stores and other types of core services, Dapr extends concepts like identity and access control to more than the network layer and point-to-point communications, providing developers with a holistic approach to application zero-trust security. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2023/06/30/dapr-completes-fuzzing-audit/ Fri, 30 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2023/06/30/dapr-completes-fuzzing-audit/ The Dapr project is happy to announce the completion of their fuzzing audit which added 39 fuzzers covering Dapr Runtime, Kit and Components-Contrib. The audit is part of an initiative by the CNCF to improve the security posture of open source cloud native projects by way of fuzzing. The audit was carried out by Ada Logics in May and June 2023. The Ada Logics team is thankful for the opportunity to help improve Daprs security posture and were impressed with the low count of issues found given the large number of fuzzers created. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2023/06/12/dapr-v1.11-is-now-available/ Mon, 12 Jun 2023 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2023/06/12/dapr-v1.11-is-now-available/ We’re happy to announce the release of Dapr 1.11.0! 🚀 🎉 🎈 We would like to extend our thanks to all the new and existing contributors who helped make this release happen.

There seems to be a trend in the Cloud-Native space where the Kubernetes API is extended to serve as the Platform interface for development teams to request the resources they need to do their work. We have seen how this can be achieved with tools like Crossplane in this other blog post, but this time we will look into Kratix, a project born to help platform builders build flexible platforms. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2023/02/16/dapr-v1.10-is-now-available/ Thu, 16 Feb 2023 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2023/02/16/dapr-v1.10-is-now-available/ We’re happy to announce the release of Dapr 1.10.0! 🚀 🎉 🎈 We would like to extend our thanks to all the new and existing contributors who helped make this release happen.

With OpenFunction, you can focus on your business logic without maintaining the underlying runtime environment. The OpenFunction community believes that functions should be able to run on any infrastructures or clouds. Why a FaaS platform like OpenFunction needs Dapr Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) 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. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2022/04/08/dapr-v1.7-is-now-available/ Fri, 08 Apr 2022 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2022/04/08/dapr-v1.7-is-now-available/ We’re happy to announce the release of Dapr v1.7.0! 🚀 🎉 🎈 This is the seventh minor version update since the announcement of Dapr v1.0.

Two frequent asks we heard when using the Quickstarts were “How do I use this Dapr API?" and “Can you show me this in my favorite language?”. Fueled by this feedback, we simplified the getting started experience by focusing on the individual building block APIs (for example, service invocation or pub/sub). The new Quickstarts are at the root of the Quickstarts repo and currently show three of the APIs in five different languages, with the rest of the building block APIs being actively worked on over the coming weeks. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2022/01/25/dapr-v1.6-is-now-available/ Tue, 25 Jan 2022 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2022/01/25/dapr-v1.6-is-now-available/ We are excited to announce the release of Dapr v1.6!

It enables developers to build elastic, stateless/stateful applications running on cloud platforms and edge devices. Dapr can lower the threshold for building modern cloud-native applications based on the microservice architecture. Why we chose Dapr At Alibaba, Java is widely used for business applications, various middleware servers, and basic capabilities. Over the past decade, Alibaba has built a solid Java based technology stack in various of battle tested scenarios. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/03/02/a-visual-guide-to-dapr/ Tue, 02 Mar 2021 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/03/02/a-visual-guide-to-dapr/ As a member of the Cloud Advocacy team within Developer Relations at Microsoft, I have the unique benefit of being able to hear about a lot of diverse technologies and solutions from folks who have hands-on expertise in their usage and development. So, when I heard my open source advocacy colleagues using the name Dapr alongside “cloud native” and “microservices”, I was intrigued. And then I was delighted to discover Dapr stands for the “Distributed Application Runtime” and had just hit production-ready v1. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/17/announcing-dapr-v1.0/ Wed, 17 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/17/announcing-dapr-v1.0/ Today we are excited to announce the v1.0 release of the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr), which has achieved the stability and enterprise readiness to be designated production ready. Dapr is an open source, portable, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for developers to build resilient, microservice, stateless and stateful applications that run on the cloud and edge. Dapr enables developers to focus on writing business logic and not solving distributed system challenges, thereby significantly improving their productivity, and reducing development time. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/12/how-the-dapr-php-sdk-came-to-be/ Fri, 12 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/12/how-the-dapr-php-sdk-came-to-be/ Hello World, I’m Rob Landers, the maintainer of the new Dapr PHP SDK. I currently work at Automattic on the Decision Science team, working with PHP, Python, JavaScript, and Scala. Since I was young, I’ve been writing software, and more importantly, I’ve been writing PHP since 2013. C# is also one of my favorite general-purpose languages, since I first used it back in its 2.0 days! For me, language is a way to express a solution to a problem, and I love learning new languages and discovering exciting new solutions. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/09/running-dapr-in-production-at-roadwork/ Tue, 09 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/09/running-dapr-in-production-at-roadwork/ At Roadwork our mission statement is “To create a platform that allows our customers to gain actionable insights from their data without additional operational effort”. We work towards optimizing processes and gaining value out of your data. We can summarize the lifecycle of such a system in the classical data platform approach, where we have three main phases: “Data gathering”, “Data processing” and “Data analytics”. The further you get in this cycle, the more complex operations and knowledge becomes and the more expensive your bill will be. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/03/dapr-v1.0.0-rc.3-is-now-available/ Wed, 03 Feb 2021 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/02/03/dapr-v1.0.0-rc.3-is-now-available/ We are excited to announce v1.0.0-rc.3, the third release candidate for the official production ready v1.0 of Dapr! The improvements in this release came out of issues opened by the community which has helped test the previous release candidate as well as contributed code changes to address these issues. Once again, we encourage the Dapr community to upgrade to the this release candidate and identify problems and open issues. We expect this release candidate to be last one and have an official v1. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/01/26/observing-dapr-applications-with-new-relic-one/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2021/01/26/observing-dapr-applications-with-new-relic-one/ It was back in 2019 at Microsoft Ignite in Orlando when I discovered a new project referred to as Distributed Application Runtime, or Dapr for short. This immediately caught my attention and Mark Russinovich did an amazing job presenting this to the audience. Dapr is quite an interesting project for me in many ways. First of all, software architecture is near and dear to my heart and Dapr solves a lot of the challenges developers typically face when designing and implementing applications. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/12/22/looking-back-at-2020/ Tue, 22 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/12/22/looking-back-at-2020/ As the year 2020 is coming to a close, I thought it is worthwhile to take a moment and look back at how much the Dapr project has achieved and how much the community has grown over the past 12 months. I believe these achievements are remarkable, especially considering how challenging and disruptive this year has been. Here are a few key areas worth mentioning: Dapr releases During 2020, Dapr saw 8 preview releases - starting with v0. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/12/18/dapr-v1.0.0-rc.2-is-now-available/ Fri, 18 Dec 2020 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/12/18/dapr-v1.0.0-rc.2-is-now-available/ We are excited to announce v1.0.0-rc.2, the second release candidate for the official production ready v1.0 of Dapr. Last month we released the first release candidate for Dapr v1.0 and it is great to have a new release candidate with additional improvements, updates and fixes in just a few weeks. The improvements in this release came out of issues opened by the community which has helped test the previous release candidate as well as contributed code changes to address these issues. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/11/17/dapr-v1.0.0-rc.1-is-now-available/ Tue, 17 Nov 2020 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/11/17/dapr-v1.0.0-rc.1-is-now-available/ In a recent blog post , we shared that Dapr is on the path towards a v1.0 release and today we are excited to announce that the first release candidate for v1.0 is available. This release candidate marks a significant milestone for Dapr as it has matured to be a solution for developers building distributed applications in a variety of scenarios. We invite the Dapr community to install and start using this release and help us find and fix issues so we can get Dapr further closer to a production ready release. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/30/dapr-on-raspberry-pi-with-k3s/ Fri, 30 Oct 2020 07:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/30/dapr-on-raspberry-pi-with-k3s/ One of the key benefits of Dapr is that it is designed to enable the development of cloud native applications deployed to a variety of environments on the cloud and on the edge. It is no surprise that Kubernetes is a common hosting environment in this space and we see developers using Dapr in various stages of the development process on Minikube, kind and, of course, on cloud provider services such as Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/26/a-new-docs-experience-for-dapr/ Mon, 26 Oct 2020 09:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/26/a-new-docs-experience-for-dapr/ tl;dr - docs.dapr.io is now live! Since Dapr was launched a year ago, it has grown at a remarkable pace. With new capabilities, features and enhancements growing, so does the documentation that helps developers and operators use Dapr to build their next distributed application. This includes introductory docs about Dapr concepts, “How-To” guides for achieving specific tasks and API reference documentation that are all a critical part of giving developers the tools they need to take advantage of everything Dapr has to offer. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/20/the-path-to-v.1.0-production-ready-dapr/ Tue, 20 Oct 2020 09:00:00 -0700 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/20/the-path-to-v.1.0-production-ready-dapr/ Ever since the initial release of Dapr a year ago, we have seen a tremendous amount of participation from the community. The increasing real-world usage and direct feedback have been critical to continuous improvement of Dapr. Over the 11 releases during the first year, Dapr has evolved to the point where now multiple companies are realizing its value in production environments. Based on this validation, and in recognition of the functionality that our users already rely on in production use-cases, we are setting Dapr today on the path to official v1. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/01/dapr-v0.11.0-is-now-available/ Thu, 01 Oct 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/10/01/dapr-v0.11.0-is-now-available/ We are super excited to announce the latest release of Dapr, v0.11.0! Dapr first released nearly a year ago now and this is another release on the path of getting Dapr production ready where we see more community contributions with each release. This post covers the highlights of the new features and enhancements in Dapr v0.11.0, including improvements to secure and configure Dapr enabled applications. Dapr is for developers, and with each release we hope this makes your app development a little easier building cloud native applications on whatever platform you are using. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/09/30/transitioning-the-dapr-project-to-open-governance/ Wed, 30 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/09/30/transitioning-the-dapr-project-to-open-governance/ About one year ago, we released Dapr as an open source project to enable developers to build event-based, distributed applications using a wide variety of different programming languages and platforms. Since the initial release, we have seen tremendous adoption of the project by developers worldwide. We are particularly excited by the growth in collaboration, with over 500 individual contributors who write code, design and review feature proposals, create issues, and author documentation. https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/09/25/introducing-the-dapr-blog/ Fri, 25 Sep 2020 00:00:00 +0000 https://blog.dapr.io/posts/2020/09/25/introducing-the-dapr-blog/ Welcome to the Dapr blog!
