Evolution of Programming Models: From Java EE5 to Kubernetes with Dapr

This chapter delves into the evolution of programming models, focusing on the transition from Java EE5 to Kubernetes and the introduction of Dapr (Distributed Application Runtime). The discussion explores how Dapr standardizes interfaces for accessing infrastructure, supports common use cases, and simplifies developers' interactions with their environments. It also covers the challenges and benefits of deploying and managing Kubernetes applications, the comparison of Dapr to JBoss, its creation by Microsoft, and its integration into various communities like Cloud providers, Java, Rust, and Wasm.
