Implementing real-time updates with Dapr pub/sub in .NET Aspire
In this recipe, we’ll implement real-time updates and interservice communication using Dapr’s pub/sub capabilities. While traditional service-to-service communication often relies on direct HTTP calls or message queues that require complex configuration, Dapr with Aspire simplifies this by providing a pub/sub abstraction that’s cloud-agnostic and requires minimal setup. Best of all, thanks to Aspire, we don’t need the traditional YAML files for Dapr configuration
