Supercharging Development With Dapr and mirrord.

I want to share this article because of the latter. Mirrord looks very similar to Telepresence - it can mirror traffic from an existing cluster to your local setup instead of spawning things in the cluster itself. It would be great to see a comparison between the two, though.

Dapr, on another hand, is kind of a more niche project. It can abstract different brokers behind a unified API. I first learned about it at CfgMgmt Camp a couple of years ago. The problem is that if you do need to abstract several brokers in the scope of a single codebase, that must be a special case. Also, since you need to keep the API universal, Dapr only provides as many features as the least feature-rich broker does, which is a natural limitation.

Anyway, if you have used Dapr in production, that would be interesting to hear your insights!
