Celebrity Deathmatch: Akka.NET vs Orleans

on YouTube ↗01h 01m

" summary

Direct comparison of two .NET actor frameworks: Akka.NET uses local object references, offers 10 million msgs/s in the presenter’s laptop benchmark, favors explicit control with props, actor refs, event-sourced persistence and supervision that escalates failures to parents; Orleans forces message serialization, shows ~5,000 msgs/s in that benchmark, provides a client library and injectable grain factory, virtual actors with cluster-wide IDs and simple state objects persisted via providers. Benchmarks favor Akka.NET for raw throughput and memory (≈900 bytes/actor); Orleans trades some performance for safer defaults and easier adoption.
