PWL #35: Orleans

Victor Hurdugaci (https://twitter.com/victorhurdugaci) presents "Orleans: Distributed Virtual Actors for Programmability and Scalability (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Orleans-MSR-TR-2014-41.pdf)"

High-scale interactive services demand high throughput with low latency and high availability, difficult goals to meet with the traditional stateless 3-tier architecture. The actor model makes it natural to build a stateful middle tier and achieve the required performance. However, the popular actor model platforms still pass many distributed systems problems to the developers.
