Have you ever realized that the database driver version used in your production environment differs from the one you use for development? What about other applications' infrastructure components?

In this session, Diagrid's Mauricio Salatino (@salaboy) and AtomicJar's Oleg Šelajev (@shelajev) examine how Dapr helps simplify this situation using a Cloud Native set of API-based interfaces that enable developers to build distributed applications quickly, no matter the programming language that they are using.
