WEBINAR: Dapr Service Invocation API: Deep Dive & v1.11 Updates
The Dapr Service Invocation API provides built-in service discovery, distributed tracing, metrics, error handling, encryption and more.
Now, as of Dapr 1.11, developers can use Dapr to invoke ANY endpoint, Dapr-enabled or not. This exciting preview feature extends Dapr's consistent API for service invocation to any HTTP endpoint and allows you to take advantage of additional Dapr constructs like middleware, authentication, etc. In this demo-heavy session, we will deep dive into all of the Dapr Service Invocation API benefits and how to extend them to your non-Dapr workloads/APIs!
Join Diagrid's Kendall Roden and Sam Coyle on August 1st (4pm CET | 7am PST) for a live, demo-heavy webinar exploring service invocation and the new external service invocation feature in Dapr 1.11.
For more information on external service invocation and new features in Dapr v1.11 check out Marc Duiker's blog post.
