What if there was a way to only subscribe to updates when they’re truly needed, avoiding wasted resources and simplifying your app’s architecture? By combining Blazor with Orleans, you can create durable, observable objects (Grains) that allow components to subscribe to updates only when they’re rendered. This approach gives you precise, fine-grained control over your app’s real-time behavior. In this session, you’ll learn how to integrate Orleans into your Blazor project to build modern, real-time solutions. We’ll cover how Orleans’ powerful Virtual Actor model makes it simple to handle state changes almost instantly while maintaining scalability and performance. By the end, you’ll see why Blazor and Orleans are a perfect match for creating interactive, cloud-enabled applications without overcomplicating your codebase. Whether you’re building dashboards, collaborative tools, or live data feeds, this session will equip you to take your Blazor apps to the next level.
