Dapr helps developers build event-driven, resilient distributed applications. Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or on an edge device, Dapr helps you tackle the challenges that come with building microservices and keeps your code platform agnostic.简单来说,Dapr(Distributed Application Runtime)是一个事件驱动、可移植的分布式应用运行时,用 于在云上或边缘计算上构建微服务。
Dapr愿景
Any language, any framework, anywhere.Deploying and running a Dapr enabled application into your Kubernetes cluster is as simple as adding a few annotations to the deployment schemes.
A building block is an HTTP or gRPC API that can be called from your code and uses one or more Dapr components.Building blocks address common challenges in building resilient, microservices applications and codify best practices and patterns. Dapr consists of a set of building blocks, with extensibility to add new building blocks.
官方提供的building block有:
Building Block
Endpoint
Description
Service-to-service invocation
/v1.0/invoke
Service invocation enables applications to communicate with each other through well-known endpoints in the form of http or gRPC messages. Dapr provides an endpoint that acts as a combination of a reverse proxy with built-in service discovery, while leveraging built-in distributed tracing and error handling.
State management
/v1.0/state
Application state is anything an application wants to preserve beyond a single session. Dapr provides a key/value-based state API with pluggable state stores for persistence.
Publish and subscribe
/v1.0/publish /v1.0/subscribe
Pub/Sub is a loosely coupled messaging pattern where senders (or publishers) publishes messages to a topic, to which subscribers subscribe. Dapr supports the pub/sub pattern between applications.
Resource bindings
/v1.0/bindings
A binding provides a bi-directional connection to an external cloud/on-premise service or system. Dapr allows you to invoke the external service through the Dapr binding API, and it allows your application to be triggered by events sent by the connected service.
Actors
/v1.0/actors
An actor is an isolated, independent unit of compute and state with single-threaded execution. Dapr provides an actor implementation based on the Virtual Actor pattern which provides a single-threaded programming model and where actors are garbage collected when not in use.
Observability
N/A
Dapr system components and runtime emit metrics, logs, and traces to debug, operate and monitor Dapr system services, components and user applications.
Secrets
/v1.0/secrets
Dapr offers a secrets building block API and integrates with secret stores such as Azure Key Vault and Kubernetes to store the secrets. Service code can call the secrets API to retrieve secrets out of the Dapr supported secret stores.
