Chapter 8: Advanced Concepts in Orleans
In the last two parts of this book, you have learned about building a highly scalable distributed application using Orleans. We have also seen how to execute periodic tasks using Orleans timers and reminders, and you have learned how to write unit tests for an Orleans application. So, we have all the skills required to build a distributed application using Orleans. In this part of the book, we will delve into some of Orleans's advanced concepts, such as heterogeneous silos, versioning, and streaming.
In this chapter, we will learn about the following advanced concepts in Orleans:
- Streaming in Orleans
- Heterogeneous silos
- Grain interface versioning
By the end of this chapter, you will be able to use Orleans to build reactive applications to process streams of events in a structured way. You will also be able to leverage the versioning of grains to promote changes to production without impacting the current traffic...
