Harnessing Crossplane and Dapr for DevOps: FICO’s Platform Engineering Journey to Increase Velocity
Talkat Platform Engineering Day NA 2024 · on Tuesday, 2024-11-12· at 14:05· Salt Palace | Level 1 | Grand Ballroom G·
summary
Proof-of-concept integrates Crossplane Functions with Dapr service invocation to generate dynamic CompositeResources (xplatform tenant → Pulsar tenant/namespace/topic) and run policy checks. Pipeline functions fetch templates and secrets via Dapr, publish events to Apache Pulsar, and call an external microservice that pulls policies from GitHub and executes Kyverno policy validator tests, returning pass/fail. A Dapr distributed lock prevents repeated reconciling calls; outbox transactional messaging is used. Implementation runs locally with Dapr run and Crossplane function dev and the demo succeeds; code is on GitHub.
