Dapr + Score: Mixing the Perfect Cocktail for an Enhanced Developer Experience
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Wednesday, 2025-04-02· at 11:15· Level 1 | Hall Entrance N10 | Room H·
summary
Concrete demo of a Dapr + Score pipeline: a five-service order workflow runs locally using dapr init and dapr run with sidecars, Zipkin, actor placement and a local Redis state/pubsub; workflow uses the Dapr SDK over gRPC and leverages Dapr components (Dapr supports ~20–25 pub/sub providers). Score files declare intent; score compose generate creates Docker Compose or Kubernetes manifests. The presenters deploy Compose locally then swap implementations to Postgres + RabbitMQ on Kubernetes and the workflow runs end‑to‑end.
