Hosting Services behind dapr

by Damir Dobric

Assuming there is a REST service that provides an operation to get the balance of the given account. The service can be consumed by the following URL:

http://127.0.0.1:5000/17

To invoke the service you will typically do following:

curl http://127.0.0.1:5000/17

The service will give you the result like following one:

{"id":"17","balance":2}

However, the Side-Car architecture of dapr uss a dapr runtime as a reverse proxy in front of your service. With this, your application can be access through dapr gRPC and HTTP/S endpoints.

To run the application in dapr following command can be used:

dapr run --app-id service --app-port 5000 --dapr-http-port 6000  dotnet run
