Use a simple programming model and the .NET language of your choice to build large distributed systems. This book teaches you the Microsoft Orleans framework.

Even well-versed professional software developers with expertise in C# (or another language) find themselves unequipped to meet the challenges of distributed systems as infrastructure moves to multi-core; multiple computers are being used for scale, redundancy, and cloud computing; and multi-region deployment is taking place.

Orleans handles many of the concerns of distributed computing and cloud infrastructure, allowing you to concentrate on writing application logic.

• Gain a background in the origin and evolution of Orleans, and why it is important for your projects


• Dive into each of the features available in Orleans by building an example application


• Develop troubleshooting skills for fixing bugs and running diagnostics


• Achieve performance optimization and advanced configuration


• Use the Orleans Dashboard to discern valuable insight in system performance
