Would you mind expanding (or linking to a documentation) on how Orleans enables reliable systems?
I watched this talk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OMXw0CslKE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OMXw0CslKE) that uses an example web application called Smilr to demonstrate some of the features of Orleans. However, that talk doesn't really go into detail on how failures are handled.
For example, in the Smilr app, each 'Event' grain is responsible for notifying an 'Aggregator' grain whenever it comes into existence (or an existing one has its updated). What happens when a call from Event grain to Aggregator grain fails? Who is responsible for retrying?
