Microsoft (Project Orleans)

Microsoft Project Orleans is a framework designed for building distributed applications that can scale and handle a large number of users and interactions. It simplifies the process by allowing developers to create applications based on virtual actors—self-contained units of computation that represent entities in the system. This design makes it easier to manage complex operations, as each actor can be developed and scaled independently. Orleans is commonly used in cloud computing environments, helping create applications like online games, chat services, and collaborative tools that require robust performance and reliability.
