description: "Learn the strategies for sharing state between different applications"
---
Dapr provides different ways to share state between applications.
Different architectures might have different needs when it comes to sharing state. In one scenario, you may want to:
- Encapsulate all state within a given application
- Have Dapr manage the access for you
In a different scenario, you may need two applications working on the same state to get and save the same keys.
To enable state sharing, Dapr supports the following key prefixes strategies:
| Key prefixes | Description |
| ------------ | ----------- |
| `appid` | The default strategy allowing you to manage state only by the app with the specified `appid`. All state keys will be prefixed with the `appid`, and are scoped for the application. |
| `name` | Uses the name of the state store component as the prefix. Multiple applications can share the same state for a given state store. |
| `namespace` | If set, this setting prefixes the `appid` key with the configured namespace, resulting in a key that is scoped to a given namespace. This allows apps in different namespace with the same `appid` to reuse the same state store. If a namespace is not configured, the setting fallbacks to the `appid` strategy. For more information on namespaces in Dapr see [How-To: Scope components to one or more applications]({{< ref component-scopes.md >}}) |
| `none` | Uses no prefixing. Multiple applications share state across different state stores. |
## Specifying a state prefix strategy
To specify a prefix strategy, add a metadata key named `keyPrefix` on a state component:
```yaml
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: statestore
namespace: production
spec:
type: state.redis
version: v1
metadata:
- name: keyPrefix
value: <key-prefix-strategy>
```
## Examples
The following examples demonstrate what state retrieval looks like with each of the supported prefix strategies.
### `appid` (default)
In the example below, a Dapr application with app id `myApp` is saving state into a state store named `redis`:
```shell
curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/state/redis \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '[
{
"key": "darth",
"value": "nihilus"
}
]'
```
The key will be saved as `myApp||darth`.
### `namespace`
A Dapr application running in namespace `production` with app id `myApp` is saving state into a state store named `redis`:
```shell
curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/state/redis \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '[
{
"key": "darth",
"value": "nihilus"
}
]'
```
The key will be saved as `production.myApp||darth`.
### `name`
In the example below, a Dapr application with app id `myApp` is saving state into a state store named `redis`:
```shell
curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/state/redis \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '[
{
"key": "darth",
"value": "nihilus"
}
]'
```
The key will be saved as `redis||darth`.
### `none`
In the example below, a Dapr application with app id `myApp` is saving state into a state store named `redis`:
```shell
curl -X POST http://localhost:3500/v1.0/state/redis \
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '[
{
"key": "darth",
"value": "nihilus"
}
]'
```
The key will be saved as `darth`.
