Episode 158: myNewsWrap – Microsoft, GitHub and SAP
Welcome to this week's edition of myNewsWrap, news from the world of Microsoft, GitHub, SAP ... and the world in between. The focus of my newsletter is the application development and all things around that can improve our lives as developers.
Let's dive into the news and explore what came up this week that can help us to build better solutions for our customers.
Microsoft Universe
First we take a look at the Microsoft universe and what crossed my path there.
Serverless - Functions, SWA and Azure Container Apps
No news this week ... is this the silence before the Microsoft Ignite storm?
Dapr
Having containers is nice but everything (well ... nearly everything 😉) gets better with Dapr as an outstanding tool for app development in the container-based area. Here we go what might be worth a look:
Developer Platform
This section collects all news touching the topic of a developer platform. Fuzzy term but here you find news on topics that make the life of developers easier beyond pure development be it Infrastructure as Code, GitHub and more like the Azure Developer CLI.

GitHub
This week it is al about GitHub Universe - first the main recordings worth to watch

Azure Developer CLI
Close to my heart as essence of how to make the developer life easier is the Azure Developer CLI. What's up in this area?
- Quickly build and deploy OpenAI apps on Azure, infused with your own data by the usual suspects :-)
The best of the "rest"
No matter how the structure of this newsletter is crafted, there is always something that does not perfectly fit. This section is dedicated to topics that I think are worth reading but did not fit into the structure from above:

- Open at Microsoft: Radius
- Building Carbon Awareness with KEDA - KubeConNA 2023 Demo
