Orleans provides higher level abstractions than Akka. It is literally a plug 'n play distributed application kit and consequently very opionated.
It took me quite some time to shift my mental model and decide I prefer it over Akka. It's also worth noting that Orleans is open source. There is also an excellent operational dashboard named OrleansDashboard.

- berdon 7y agoThe dashboard is visually great but misleading in functional usefulness. Much like any distributed computing framework, it’s marginally useful, at best, to view a single computation’s flow or result. The dashboard shows grain (actor) success/failure calls but as there can be any number of typographical arrangement of grain execution calls it really is mostly an aesthetic dashboard. I’m only pointing this out because it’s easy to spend a lot of time trying to use the dashboard as a dev tool instead of focusing on good logging techniques. There has been a lot of great work put into the dashboard and I certainly don’t want to take away from that.
