Introduction to Actor-based Development with Project Orleans

Explore actor-based development using Project Orleans in this conference talk from NDC Oslo 2023. Discover how to tackle complex domains like real-time vehicle tracking, auctions, and IoT scenarios that are challenging to model with standard n-tier architectures. Learn about the Actor pattern and its ability to simplify development through in-memory actors. Delve into how Project Orleans, developed by Microsoft, addresses challenges such as instance proxying, state management, clustering, and actor distribution. Through numerous code demonstrations, gain practical insights into building solutions with Project Orleans and understand its key features. Prepare for a code-heavy presentation that focuses on hands-on learning rather than theoretical slides.
