Simple Dapr messaging using Azure Container Apps

High Level Architecture:

Deploy Azure resources

PROJECT_NAME="dznginx"
LOCATION="eastus"

bash ./deploy-infra.sh $PROJECT_NAME $LOCATION

az containerapp job create \
    --name "my-job" --resource-group $PROJECT_NAME  --environment $PROJECT_NAME \
    --trigger-type "Schedule" \
    --replica-timeout 1800 --replica-retry-limit 0 --replica-completion-count 1 --parallelism 1 \
    --image "mcr.microsoft.com/k8se/quickstart-jobs:latest" \
    --cpu "0.25" --memory "0.5Gi" \
    --cron-expression "*/1 * * * *" --workload-profile-name d8

Build containers using buildpacks

REGISTRY_NAME="dimages"
az acr login --name $REGISTRY_NAME

az containerapp up --name message-receiver \
  --location $LOCATION \
  --environment $PROJECT_NAME \
  -g $PROJECT_NAME \
  --registry-server $REGISTRY_NAME.azurecr.io \
  --ingress external \
  --target-port 8080 \
  --source ./src/Message.Receiver

Create config file

PROJECT_NAME="dzaca27"
bash ./create-config.sh $PROJECT_NAME

Launch locally without Dapr

• create azure resources by running infra script
• create local config by running create config script or adjust environment variables in local.env accordingly
• launch debug and open http://localhost:5025

Launch locally with Dapr

cd src/Message.Creator
dapr run --app-id message-creator --components-path ../../components/ --app-port 5023 --dapr-http-port 3500  -- dotnet run --project .

cd src/Message.Receiver
dapr run --app-id message-receiver --resources-path ../../components/ --app-port 5025 --dapr-http-port 3501  -- dotnet run --project .
