Fine-grained Real-time Apps with Blazor & Orleans

on YouTube ↗50m

" summary

Starts from the Blazor counter example and shows a working pattern: client or server-rendered Blazor components call a single IClusterClient proxy to an Orleans virtual actors (grains) counter, grains persist state to memory streaming + Azure Table storage, and streams push updates back to subscribed components. Demo runs across a three-silo cluster, preserves counts after restarts, and keeps tabs in sync; requirements: private networking, cluster membership table, and at least three silos for reliable failover.
