You now spend your days futzing with YAML files-and believe me, some days it’s a word dangerously close to futzing-and you can’t help but wonder: wasn’t I supposed to be developing things?ĭapr, or Distributed Application Runtime, is here to help. Three months after your stakeholders ask you to build a shopping cart, you’re looking at an app filled with complex dependencies, cobbled-together SDKs, and complicated configuration setups. Instead, you’re signing up to manage a bunch of smaller applications with a lot to consider: how can I monitor and observe my services? How can I make them robust and resilient? How can I work with async communication, like messaging and event-driven patterns? When I do need to be synchronous, how can I handle that? How can I scale? Did I mention it has to be cloud-native through containerization and a container orchestrator like Kubernetes? With anything else, you need to understand what you’re getting yourself into. In these cases, you may want to consider a microservice architecture.

Even simple changes require full deployments of the entire application, and testing is a nightmare. After some time, the monolith becomes complicated, changes are filled with unintended side effects, and it becomes difficult to manage. In theory, though, I’ve seen monoliths open for abuse. If you manage this well-embracing the concepts of a loosely-coupled monolith-you can get away from a lot of the complexity of modern distributed applications. If you can manage a monolithic application correctly, often it’s all you need: building, testing, and deploying is relatively straightforward.
