Orleans

Orleans is a framework for building distributed applications that process large-scale, event-driven workloads efficiently. It simplifies the development of cloud services by providing a system where software components, called "grains," act like independent, virtual actors capable of handling tasks concurrently. Orleans manages the complexities of distributed systems—such as scalability, fault tolerance, and communication—allowing developers to focus on core logic without delving into infrastructure details. Used in industries like gaming, IoT, and cloud services, Orleans enables reliable, scalable, and responsive applications in cloud environments.
