Along the way, we 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.

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 configure ingress.

While we managed to expose our ASP.NET applications to external clients, it...
