Orleans UniversalSilo Design Philosophy

The philosophy behind this library is to:

• Abstract away as much boilerplate as possible without sacrificing flexibility for evolution

• Provide sensible defaults without preventing the defaults being overridden

• Make grain design the focus of the development experience

• Support Grain Testing as a first class concern

• Support Cross-Platform as a first class concern
  • Build on .net core
• Support CI/CD as a first class concern
  • Provide uniform building instructions for local development and build pipelines
  • Provide uniform packaging instructions for application executables and Docker images

• Support Azure Deployment as opinionated guidance.

  Contributions for guidance on other platforms are welcome!

  • Deployment on Azure Kubernetes Service on Scale Sets
