I spent a fair amount of time doing a POC on Orleans but ultimately went with SF Reliable Actors due to some issues I couldn't resolve with a custom Streams implementation (Kafka subscriber/publisher).
I really enjoyed the simplistic development model of Orleans compared to SF, and I want to give streams a second chance on a personal project, but I'm concerned that both Orleans and SF RA will be superseded by SF Mesh - do you have any thoughts on this?
- JoyrexJ9 6y agoSF Mesh is a project that's been long discontinued
- x0n 6y agoSF/RA is pretty much in maintenance mode. SF Mesh is dead. But Orleans 4.0 is going to make virtual streams custom data adapters easy to write (they say.)
- Serow225 6y agoThat's always been my concern when looking at Orleans. Why can't Microsoft just be up front about the status of these things, so that people don't pick them for greenfield projects? What are the actual "live" platforms for running Orleans? I don't want to deal with running clusters and nodes, the closer to 'serverless Orleans' the better for me (Functions Durable Entities etc is not the same thing)
- reubenbond 6y agoI think if you look at the consistent development history, you can use that as an indicator. Internal teams host it on Kubernetes (Linux), Service Fabric (Windows), and other places. The "Orleans at Microsoft" talk from August covers where teams are hosting it and how they're using it: https://youtu.be/KhgYlvGLv9c https://youtu.be/KhgYlvGLv9c
