Dapr Jobs

⚙️ How Dapr Jobs Work Dapr Jobs enable you to run background tasks or scheduled jobs in a cloud-native, event-driven way. Here’s the breakdown: Job Definition You define a job in a Kubernetes DaprJob CRD (Custom Resource Definition) with a schedule (cron or interval) and a target application to invoke. Dapr Control Plane The Dapr operator watches for DaprJob resources. When the job is due, it invokes your app using a Dapr sidecar via HTTP/gRPC. Job Execution Your app implements a handler endpoint (e.g., /jobs/mytask) that performs the job logic. Dapr ensures retries and at-least-once delivery. Observability & Resilience Jobs automatically gain tracing, metrics, retries, and circuit breakers—all powered by Dapr's building blocks.

Dapr Jobs enable you to run background tasks or scheduled jobs in a cloud-native, event-driven way. Here’s the breakdown:

Job Definition

You define a job in a Kubernetes DaprJob CRD (Custom Resource Definition) with a schedule (cron or interval) and a target application to invoke.
Dapr Control Plane

The Dapr operator watches for DaprJob resources. When the job is due, it invokes your app using a Dapr sidecar via HTTP/gRPC.
Job Execution

Your app implements a handler endpoint (e.g., /jobs/mytask) that performs the job logic. Dapr ensures retries and at-least-once delivery.
Observability & Resilience

Jobs automatically gain tracing, metrics, retries, and circuit breakers—all powered by Dapr's building blocks.
