While Dapr exists across many ecosystems today, its origins can be traced back to Microsoft, so we’re excited to be Featured Partners for the Microsoft Build conference, May 21-23 in Seattle, Washington.

Diagrid’s mission is to help developers be more productive. Diagrid was founded on the open source Dapr project, which provides integrated APIs for communication, state, and workflow. We're excited to be at Microsoft Build as Featured Partners to showcase Conductor Enterprise, which is designed for managing Dapr on Kubernetes, including Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS). Conductor helps to visualize interactions between applications and infrastructure components, automate operations, and provide best practice guidance with recommended actions for using Dapr.

We'll also be demonstrating the brand-new Catalyst developer API platform, for serverless infrastructure as well as enterprise support for Dapr.

Read on to see what all we have in store for the Microsoft Build conference this year:
