Dapr pub/sub (HTTP requests client)

In this quickstart, you'll create a publisher microservice and a subscriber microservice to demonstrate how Dapr enables a publish-subcribe pattern. The publisher will generate messages of a specific topic, while subscribers will listen for messages of specific topics. See Why Pub-Sub to understand when this pattern might be a good choice for your software architecture.

Visit this link for more information about Dapr and Pub-Sub.

Note: This example leverages HTTP requests only. If you are looking for the example using the Dapr Client SDK (recommended) click here.

This quickstart includes one publisher:

• Python client message generator checkout

And one subscriber:

• Python subscriber order-processor

Run Python message publisher with Dapr

1. Install dependencies:

cd ./checkout
pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

3. Run the Python publisher app with Dapr:

dapr run --app-id checkout --components-path ../../../components/ -- python3 app.py

Run Python message subscriber with Dapr

2. Install dependencies:

cd ./order-processor
pip3 install -r requirements.txt 

3. Run the Python subscriber app with Dapr:

dapr run --app-id order-processor --components-path ../../../components/ --app-port 5001 -- python3 app.py

dapr stop --app-id checkout
dapr stop --app-id order-processor
