Azure Sample showing how to connect and call multiple container apps within the same environment. Shows the approach to use both with and without Dapr.

Azure Container Apps Sample - multi-container communication

The following sample shows how to use Azure Container Apps to have one container call another within the environment. This is possible both with or without Dapr. Dapr will provide mTLS, auto-retries, and additional telemetry if enabled.

The nodeApp (container-1-node) is an express.js API that will call a /hello endpoint. This route will call the dotnetApp (container-2-dotnet) to return a message.
