Dapr was first announced in October 2019 and has been developed on GitHub. The purpose of Dapr is to provide services, accessed via HTTP or gRPC, that can be called from any application, and meet some common requirements that can otherwise be tricky to implement. Specifically, Dapr provides: * Service-to-service invocation * State management: save and retrieve key/value pairs from a variety of stores such as Redis, CosmosDB, SQL Server or PostgreSQL * Publish and subscribe * Resource binding: Send, receive, and respond to events * Virtual actors: Use actor pattern for stateless and stateful objects * Distributed tracing: Uses W3C Trace Context standard to feed events to tracing and monitoring systems * Secrets management: Safe storage and retrieval of credentials
