Dapr in 2025: Durable Execution for AgenticAI Systems and Becoming the Backbone of App Platforms

summary
Dapr 1.15 introduces a conversation API with built‑in circuit breakers, auth middleware and prompt caching kept in the sidecar to eliminate external egress and reduce cost; sensitive data obfuscation protects inputs and outputs. Workflows are now stable and can sleep to infinity for durable timers and human/agent approvals. The new Dapr Agents project layers agent abstractions on Dapr Workflows (tasks, orchestrator/assistant pattern, pub/sub, state) and demonstrates running multi‑agent plans with Redis state, structured plans, and recoverable execution at large scale.
