 Reminders are a mechanism to trigger *persistent* callbacks on an actor at specified times. Their functionality is similar to timers. But unlike timers, reminders are triggered under all circumstances until the actor explicitly unregisters them or the actor is explicitly deleted or the number in invocations is exhausted. Specifically, reminders are triggered across actor deactivations and failovers because the Dapr actor runtime persists the information about the actors' reminders using Dapr actor state provider.
 
 You can create a persistent reminder for an actor by calling the HTTP/gRPC request to Dapr as shown below, or via Dapr SDK.

+
+Using the Dapr conversation API, you can reduce the complexity of interacting with Large Language Models (LLMs) and enable critical performance and security functionality with features like prompt caching and personally identifiable information (PII) data obfuscation.
+
+## Features
+
+### Prompt caching
+
+To significantly reduce latency and cost, frequent prompts are stored in a cache to be reused, instead of reprocessing the information for every new request. Prompt caching optimizes performance by storing and reusing prompts that are often repeated across multiple API calls.
+
+### Personally identifiable information (PII) obfuscation
+
+The PII obfuscation feature identifies and removes any PII from a conversation response. This feature protects your privacy by eliminating sensitive details like names, addresses, phone numbers, or other details that could be used to identify an individual.

 - **State stores:** Due to underlying limitations in some database choices, more commonly NoSQL databases, you might run into limitations around storing internal states. For example, CosmosDB has a maximum single operation item limit of only 100 states in a single request.
-- **Horizontal scaling:** As of the 1.12.0 beta release of Dapr Workflow, it is recommended to use a maximum of two instances of Dapr per workflow application. This limitation is resolved in Dapr 1.14.x when enabling the scheduler service.

+
+#### Credentials from Environment Variables
+Authenticate using [environment variables](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/environment-variables.html). This is especially useful for Dapr in self-hosted mode where sidecar injectors don’t configure environment variables.
+
+There are no metadata fields required for this authentication profile.
+
+#### IAM Roles Anywhere
+[IAM Roles Anywhere](https://aws.amazon.com/iam/roles-anywhere/) extends IAM role-based authentication to external workloads. It eliminates the need for long-term credentials by using cryptographically signed certificates, anchored in a trust relationship using Dapr PKI. Dapr SPIFFE identity X.509 certificates are used to authenticate to AWS services, and Dapr handles credential rotation at half the session lifespan.
+
+To configure this authentication profile:
+1. Create a Trust Anchor in the trusting AWS account using the Dapr certificate bundle as an `External certificate bundle`.
+2. Create an IAM role with the resource permissions policy necessary, as well as a trust entity for the Roles Anywhere AWS service. Here, you specify SPIFFE identities allowed.
+3. Create an IAM Profile under the Roles Anywhere service, linking the IAM Role.
+
+| Attribute | Required | Description | Example |
+| --------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
+| `trustAnchorArn` | Y | ARN of the Trust Anchor in the AWS account granting trust to the Dapr Certificate Authority. | arn:aws:rolesanywhere:us-west-1:012345678910:trust-anchor/01234568-0123-0123-0123-012345678901 |
+| `trustProfileArn` | Y | ARN of the AWS IAM Profile in the trusting AWS account. | arn:aws:rolesanywhere:us-west-1:012345678910:profile/01234568-0123-0123-0123-012345678901 |
+| `assumeRoleArn` | Y | ARN of the AWS IAM role to assume in the trusting AWS account. | arn:aws:iam:012345678910:role/exampleIAMRoleName |
+
+### Additional Fields
+
+Some AWS components include additional optional fields:
+
+| Attribute | Required | Description | Example |
+| --------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
+| `endpoint` | N | The endpoint is normally handled internally by the AWS SDK. However, in some situations it might make sense to set it locally - for example if developing against [DynamoDB Local](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/DynamoDBLocal.html). | |
+
+Furthermore, non-native AWS components such as Kafka and PostgreSQL that support AWS authentication profiles have metadata fields to trigger the AWS authentication logic. Be sure to check specific component documentation.

+You can enable additional metrics for [Dapr API error codes](https://docs.dapr.io/reference/api/error_codes/) by setting `spec.metrics.recordErrorCodes` to `true`. Dapr APIs which communicate back to their caller may return standardized error codes. As described in the [Dapr development docs](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/master/docs/development/dapr-metrics.md), a new metric called `error_code_total` is recorded, which allows monitoring of error codes triggered by application, code, and category. See [the `errorcodes` package](https://github.com/dapr/dapr/blob/master/pkg/messages/errorcodes/errorcodes.go) for specific codes and categories.
