Microservices architectures offer scalability, flexibility and modularity, but they also introduce new complexities for developers. From managing service-to-service communication and state persistence to implementing security, reliability and monitoring, developing microservices often means reinventing the wheel for each service. Add to that the challenges of local development, debugging and building efficient microservices can feel overwhelming.

In this session, we'll take a deep dive into the common struggles developers face when building microservices and how Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime) can streamline this process. Dapr abstracts the complexity of infrastructure issues by providing reusable building blocks for service invocation, state management, pub/sub messaging and more, allowing you to focus on your core business logic.

By the end of the session, you'll see how Dapr can dramatically reduce the repetitive development tasks associated with building microservices. You'll see a live demonstration of a cloud-native order processing system where Dapr seamlessly addresses common microservice challenges within Azure Container Apps.
