The default pubsub.yaml($HOME/.dapr/components) file is used. And rabbit mq is used for pub sub implementation. Below are the contents of pubsub.yaml file. The other way to include pubsub.yaml is to create a components directory and create a file called pubsub.yaml and add the below contents to the file. And then modify the dapr run command to include components directory path using "--resources-path". apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1 kind: Component metadata: name: orderpubsub spec: type: pubsub.rabbitmq version: v1 metadata: - name: host value: "amqp://localhost:5672" - name: durable value: "false" - name: deletedWhenUnused value: "false" - name: autoAck value: "false" - name: reconnectWait value: "0" - name: concurrency value: parallel scopes: - orderprocessing - checkout Start a RabbitMQ message broker by entering the following command: docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 --name dtc-rabbitmq rabbitmq:3-management-alpine Java: dapr run --app-id orderprocessing --app-port 6001 --dapr-http-port 3601 --dapr-grpc-port 60001 --resources-path ../../components mvn spring-boot:run dapr run --app-id checkout --app-port 6002 --dapr-http-port 3602 --dapr-grpc-port 60002 --resources-path ../../components mvn spring-boot:run Python: dapr run --app-id orderprocessing --app-port 6001 --dapr-grpc-port 3601 --app-protocol grpc --resources-path ../components python3 OrderProcessingService.py dapr run --app-id checkout --app-port 6002 --dapr-grpc-port 3602 --app-protocol grpc --resources-path ../components python3 CheckoutService.py GO: dapr run --app-id orderprocessing --app-port 6001 --dapr-http-port 3601 --dapr-grpc-port 60001 --resources-path ../../components go run OrderProcessingService.go dapr run --app-id checkout --app-port 6002 --dapr-http-port 3602 --dapr-grpc-port 60002 --resources-path ../../components go run CheckoutService.go CSharp: dapr run --app-id orderprocessing --app-port 6001 --dapr-http-port 3601 --dapr-grpc-port 60001 --app-ssl --resources-path ../../components dotnet run dapr run --app-id checkout --app-port 6002 --dapr-http-port 3602 --dapr-grpc-port 60002 --app-ssl --resources-path ../../components dotnet run Javascript: dapr run --app-id orderprocessing --app-port 6001 --dapr-http-port 3601 --dapr-grpc-port 60001 --resources-path ../../components npm start dapr run --app-id checkout --app-port 6002 --dapr-http-port 3602 --dapr-grpc-port 60002 --resources-path ../../components npm start
