Deep dives
Dapper: A Developer Productivity Suite of APIs
Dapper is a developer productivity suite of APIs that enables developers to build distributed applications in less time. It provides APIs that codify best practices for building distributed applications, addressing challenges such as event-driven architectures, messaging between services, and orchestration of applications. Dapper simplifies the development process by offering a set of consistent APIs that can be accessed from any framework or language over HTTP or GRPC. It reduces the need for developers to write boilerplate code and maintain it over time. Dapper's goal is to make developers more productive by allowing them to focus on their business logic while providing features like security, reliability, and observability.
