FAQPage Schema

How do I configure Dapr pub/sub with Kafka or Redis for event-driven microservices?▼

Dapr pub/sub configuration involves defining component manifests that specify your backend (Kafka or Redis), then applying them to your Kubernetes cluster. The Skill provides component definitions, subscription patterns, and deployment guidance to wire agent-to-agent communication with reliable message delivery.

What's the difference between declarative and programmatic subscriptions in Dapr?▼

Declarative subscriptions use YAML manifests applied to Kubernetes, while programmatic subscriptions are created at runtime through HTTP-based clients. Dapr supports both patterns; the Skill demonstrates each approach and when to apply resource scoping for each type.

Can I use Dapr pub/sub subscriptions across multiple microservices in Kubernetes?▼

Yes, Dapr pub/sub subscriptions enable reliable event delivery across microservices in Kubernetes. Configure the component once, deploy Dapr sidecars to each service, and subscribers automatically receive published events routed by topic and backend (Kafka or Redis).

How do I publish events to Dapr pub/sub topics from HTTP clients?▼

Dapr provides HTTP-based publish utilities that allow clients to send events to topics without direct backend access. The Skill covers publish payload structure and endpoint routing so events flow to all subscribed microservices reliably.

What do I need to set up before deploying Dapr pub/sub components?▼

Before configuring Dapr pub/sub, ensure Dapr is installed on your Kubernetes cluster, your chosen backend (Kafka or Redis) is running and accessible, and you have the component metadata specifications ready. The Skill assumes these prerequisites are in place.
