Orleans 7 is a cross-platform framework from the Microsoft Research team that helps you to build robust and scalable distributed cloud-native applications. Orleans has been around for many years and is battle-tested by a number of internal Microsoft products and teams.
In this code-heavy session, I will explain what the Orleans framework is all about: What is the distributed virtual actor model? What are grains? What are silos? I will also dive a bit deeper into the more advanced Orleans features like heterogeneous silos, streams, transactions, etc.
Throughout this session, I will show you how I implemented Orleans in one of my personal projects to enable flexible scaling and easy cloud deployment. Finally, I will discuss how I deployed my Orleans application to AKS (Azure Kubernetes Service) and ACA (Azure Container Apps)
