Microsoft Orleans

Microsoft Orleans is a framework for building distributed applications that can scale easily and handle many users at the same time. It simplifies the process of developing cloud-based services by using a programming model based on "virtual actors," which are independent units of computation. Each actor can maintain its own state and communicate with others, allowing developers to create complex systems without worrying about the underlying infrastructure. Orleans is particularly useful for applications that require high reliability and responsiveness, such as online gaming, IoT, and real-time data processing.
