Explore the concept of cloud nano-bots and strongly-typed state machines in this 53-minute conference talk by John Azariah at NDC Conferences. Discover how traditional n-tier multi-user applications can be reimagined as a platoon of independent, stateful microservices, each encoding a state machine. Learn how declaratively describing state machines formalizes the behavior of message-based applications and enables reasoning about their correctness. Gain insights into expressing state machines as full-fledged Orleans Actors, with a focus on type-safety, developer productivity, testability, and ease of use. No prior knowledge of state machines is required, but a general understanding of Orleans will be beneficial. Delve into this innovative approach to addressing infrastructure issues such as scalability and reliability in cloud-based applications.
