The idea of creating the Application Developer Con came from Mark Fussell – the co-founder of Diagrid and co-creator of Dapr (one of the developer-focused frameworks covered during the day).
“We started App Developer Con because we’d come to KubeCon and we wouldn’t really hear about the Application Developer,” Fussells said. He went on to say that’s why he approached members of the CNCF back in February about a conference for developers. Application Developer Con is the culmination of those conversations.
