Catalyst APIs: your solution for fragmentation, code sprawl and vendor lock-in
Starting a new project can be daunting. Choosing a technology for messaging, storage, workflows (and others) is a big commitment that takes time for developers. An ever increasing number of libraries, frameworks, cloud services and infrastructure lead to code sprawl, refactoring, lock-in, and security vulnerabilities, forcing developers to become experts of everything and ship code that’s hard to maintain. Switching between technologies is a risky, incredibly complex, and costly process. The flexibility is there, but it has a big price.
Meet Catalyst!
Powered by Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime), the 12th largest Cloud Native Computing Foundation project, Catalyst provides developers with APIs that remain consistent while the underlying infrastructure can be swapped out with little to no code changes. For teams using multiple programming languages or running in multiple clouds, Catalyst provides a single API for interacting with the underlying infrastructure, drastically reducing the amount of code and maintenance you’re on the hook for. Not only that, these APIs already embed best practices on security and reliability. If that's not amazing enough, Catalyst runs as-a-service, so there’s nothing to install or manage!
Join us to learn how Catalyst can add infrastructure flexibility, zero trust security, and fault tolerance to your distributed solutions with no extra development time!
Dapr - The ultimate API for distributed application development
In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud-native development, microservices architectures stand as the cornerstone of modern application design. While they offer scalability and flexibility, they also introduce multiple of challenges that can overwhelm even the most seasoned developers. From the initial design phase to the final stages of production deployment, the hurdles of orchestration, traceability, security, and resiliency loom large.
That's where Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) comes in. Crafted to ease the burdens of cloud and edge computing, Dapr champions best practices and simplifies the developer experience. In this session, Fernando will unveil how Dapr’s suite of integrated APIs transforms the complex web of distributed system development by facilitating state management, messaging, service invocation, workflows, and more.
