Timing problem in service_invocation quickstarts

[joebowbeer]

One timing problem that occurred when I ran the javascript/http example as a multi-run app in the devcontainer:

The order-processor may not be ready to receive the first order from the checkout service, in which case the first post returns a 500 and exits the checkout loop.

Moving the sleep to the top of the loop helps.

I think this problem and potential improvement applies to all of these multi-run service_invocation implementations, not just javascript.

Is there a better way for checkout to wait until the order-processor is running?

Hey @joebowbeer - agree this is a problem and we need some design so multiapp run can check for health and liveliness of sidecars. We have a 1.15+ item on Dapr CLI for this. dapr/cli#1435

Heartbeat, CLI issue still open so nothing to do here yet
