Dapr provides developers with APIs that abstract away the complexity of common challenges when building distributed applications.

Key Points: 
  • Dapr provides developers with APIs that abstract away the complexity of common challenges when building distributed applications.
  • Newly added in 1.13 are Go and Javascript SDKs to the Dapr Workflow API which allow developers to run fault-tolerant durable executions.
  • It increases developer productivity by 20-40% with features such as workflow, pub/sub, state management, secret stores, external configuration, bindings, actors, distributed lock, and cryptography.
  • Dapr enables developers to benefit from its built-in security, reliability, and observability capabilities, so they don't need to write boilerplate code to achieve production-ready applications.

SEATTLE and CHICAGO, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- KubeCon+CloudNativeCon North America, Booth #B27— Diagrid, provider of tools and services to build applications based on open source technologies, today announced Catalyst, a suite of unified APIs for messaging, data and workflow. Catalyst frees developers from the fragmentation of code sprawl, infrastructure lock-in and ever-increasing security vulnerabilities. The APIs, which are based on the popular Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) open source project Dapr, enable developers to drastically reduce boilerplate code, and can be used from any cloud and with existing infrastructure.

Key Points: 
  • Reliability and Fault Tolerance: Employ circuit breakers, retries, timeouts and rate limiting for applications and existing infrastructure.
  • Catalyst APIs work with the user's existing infrastructure in the cloud and are powered by Dapr, a battle-tested open-source project that was co-created by the founders of Diagrid.
  • "Catalyst's unified APIs, with its swappable infrastructure model and cross-cutting capabilities, reduce code maintenance and provide holistic, zero trust security.
  • By defining golden paths using industry patterns developers can use their existing skills and infrastructure to build secure and reliable applications."
