Abstract

In this chapter, you will learn what the Actor model is, when it is a fit, and when not. You will also understand what implications the virtual Actor model introduces. After all that, you will learn the specifics of the Actors building block of Dapr. Then you will put all the knowledge into practice, as I show you how to implement a sample application that automates your home and treats each object in it as an actor. It will be implemented entirely in .NET.
