Learning Dapr

Get the authoritative guide on Actions, the new distributed programming model that works with existing and new programming languages alike. Written by one of the model's creators, this introduction shows you how Actions not only unifies stateless, stateful, and actor programming models but also runs everywhere-in the cloud or on the edge. Author Haishi Bai with Microsoft's Azure CTO team explains that with Actions you don't need to include any SDKs or libraries in your user code. Instead, you automatically get flexible binding, state management, actor pattern, pub-sub, reliable messaging, and many more features. This book shows developers, architects, CIOs, students, and computing enthusiasts how to get started with Actions.
