Dapr: The Future of Microservices

§ Overview

About this video

What You'll Learn

  1. Why Dapr sits above service meshes with application identity, retries, security, and observability
  2. How component APIs decouple pub/sub, state stores, workflows, and LLM providers from code
  3. How actors make Dapr Agents durable, recoverable, and scalable across agent workflows

Mark Fussell, CEO of Diagrid, explains how Dapr's building blocks (pub/sub, state, workflows, virtual actors) tame microservice complexity, and how Dapr Agents extends that same actor and durable-workflow model to agentic LLM systems.
