Celebrate Dapr 1.19 with us!

Dapr 1.19 is here, and it's one of the biggest releases yet for anyone building long-running AI agents on Dapr Workflow. Join the Dapr maintainers and the Diagrid team for a live celebration with demos, a walkthrough of what's new, and time for your questions.

What you'll see

• Workflow steps that get up to 3.6x faster with the new fast path, which cuts median step latency from 553 ms to 153 ms
• Workflows that send only new history events per step, so step 500 costs about the same as step 5
• Vector and Binary Store, two new building blocks for embeddings and large files
• Actor placement handled by the Scheduler, so you run one fewer stateful service in your control plane
• The Dapr MCP server, which gives your AI agents and IDE assistants access to Dapr APIs such as state, pub/sub, service invocation, and secrets as MCP tools

Who should join

You'll get the most out of this session if you build with Dapr today, run it on Kubernetes, or are evaluating durable execution for AI agents. You'll leave knowing which 1.19 features to turn on first and how to upgrade safely, since all the big changes are opt-in.
