Next-Level Powers: Enhance Your IDP with the WASM and Dapr Hero Team-Up!
summary
Shows a runnable golden path that scaffolds a Spin WASM service from Backstage, provisions cluster pieces with Pulumi and GitOps via Argo CD, annotates deployments with Dapr components so code uses pub/sub and state without knowing Kafka, and attaches KEDA event-driven autoscaling to scale-to-zero then back up on queue load. Kafka topics come from a Kubernetes Kafka operator, the demo initially scales up on messages (a later hiccup interrupts the UI), and YAML templates and repo scaffolds are provided.
