Along the way, we’ve learned how the building blocks of Dapr enable any developer, using any language on any platform, to accelerate the development and deployment of a microservice architecture.

We have stayed focused on the building blocks of Dapr and how to combine them in an optimal way, always remaining in the context of the local development environment. We did this by relying on Dapr’s standalone mode to test and debug our microservice code.

In this chapter, we finally shifted gears and moved toward a production-ready environment for our Dapr applications, such as a Kubernetes cluster. We learned how to configure Dapr on a Kubernetes cluster, as well as how to handle secrets and components, deploy applications, and ingress configuration.
