If you are new to Dapr and haven't done so already, it is recommended you go through the Dapr Getting Started instructions.

Quickstarts

Pick a building block API (for example, PubSub, state management, etc) and rapidly try it out in your favorite language SDK (recommended), or via HTTP. Visit the Dapr Docs Quickstarts Guide for a comprehensive walkthrough of each example.

| Dapr Quickstart | Description | |:--------:|:--------:| | Workflow | Dapr Workflow enables you to create long running, fault-tolerant, stateful applications | | AI | Create AI agents and apps that are durable, fault-tolerant with built-in synchronous and asynchronous messaging | | Publish and Subscribe | Asynchronous communication between two services using messaging | | AI | Agentic building blocks including durable workflows, eventing, authentication and state persistence | | Service Invocation | Synchronous communication between two services using HTTP | | State Management | Store a service's data as key/value pairs in supported state stores | | Bindings | Work with external systems using input bindings to respond to events and output bindings to call operations | | Secrets Management | Securely fetch secrets | | Actors | Create stateful, long running objects with identity | | Configuration | Get configuration items as key/value pairs or subscribe to changes whenever a configuration item changes | | Cryptography | Perform cryptographic operations without exposing keys to your application | | Resiliency | Define and apply fault-tolerant policies (retries/back-offs, timeouts and circuit breakers) to your Dapr API requests | | Jobs | Dapr Jobs enable you to manage and schedule tasks |

Tutorials

Go deeper into a topic or scenario, oftentimes using building block APIs together to solve problems (for example, build a distributed calculator, build and deploy an app to Kubernetes).

| Tutorials | Description | |------|------| | Hello-world | Demonstrates how to run Dapr locally. Highlights service invocation and state management. | | Hello-kubernetes | Demonstrates how to run Dapr in Kubernetes. Highlights service invocation and state management. | | Distributed-calculator | Demonstrates a distributed calculator application that uses Dapr services to power a React web app. Highlights polyglot (multi-language) programming, service invocation and state management. | | Pub-sub | Demonstrates how to use Dapr to enable pub-sub applications. Uses Redis as a pub-sub component. | | Bindings | Demonstrates how to use Dapr to create input and output bindings to other components. Uses bindings to Kafka.| | Observability | Demonstrates Dapr tracing capabilities. Uses Zipkin as a tracing component. | | Secret Store | Demonstrates the use of Dapr Secrets API to access secret stores. | | Workflow | Demonstrates how to author and manage Dapr workflows. Includes workflow patterns, resiliency, and common challenges & tips. |

Development

Updating sdk versions

• Python: make update_python_sdk_version [DAPR_VERSION=1.16.0] [FASTAPI_VERSION=1.16.0] [WORKFLOW_VERSION=1.16.0]
• Go: make update_gosdk_version VERSION=v1.16.0
• C#: make update_dotnet_sdk_version VERSION=1.15.0
• Java: make update_java_sdk_version VERSION=1.12.0
• Javascript: make update_javascript_sdk_version VERSION=3.4.0

Validating all the quickstarts

To run the samples, you need to have Dapr installed. Follow the Getting Started guide to install Dapr.

• Python: make test_python_quickstarts
• Go: make test_go_quickstarts
• Java: make test_java_quickstarts
• JS: make test_javascript_quickstarts
• C#: make test_csharp_quickstarts
• All quickstarts: make test_all_quickstarts

Validating a single quickstart

Navigate to the quickstart directory and run make validate.

cd conversation/python/sdk
make validate
