Microsoft Orleans Persistence for Azure Cosmos DB

Introduction

Microsoft Orleans Persistence for Azure Cosmos DB provides grain persistence for Microsoft Orleans using Azure Cosmos DB. This allows your grains to persist their state in Azure Cosmos DB and reload it when they are reactivated, offering a globally distributed, multi-model database service for your Orleans applications.

Getting Started

To use this package, install it via NuGet:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Orleans.Persistence.Cosmos

Example - Configuring Azure Cosmos DB Persistence

using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting;
using Orleans.Configuration;
using Orleans.Hosting;

var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args)
    .UseOrleans(siloBuilder =>
    {
        siloBuilder
            .UseLocalhostClustering()
            // Configure Azure Cosmos DB as grain storage
            .AddCosmosGrainStorage(
                name: "cosmosStore",
                configureOptions: options =>
                {
                    options.AccountEndpoint = "https://YOUR_COSMOS_ENDPOINT";
                    options.AccountKey = "YOUR_COSMOS_KEY";
                    options.DB = "YOUR_DATABASE_NAME";
                    options.CanCreateResources = true;
                });
    });

// Run the host
await builder.RunAsync();

Example - Using Grain Storage in a Grain

// Define grain state class

public class MyGrainState
{
    public string Data { get; set; }
    public int Version { get; set; }
}

// Grain implementation that uses the Cosmos DB storage
public class MyGrain : Grain, IMyGrain, IGrainWithStringKey
{
    private readonly IPersistentState<MyGrainState> _state;

    public MyGrain([PersistentState("state", "cosmosStore")] IPersistentState<MyGrainState> state)
    {
        _state = state;
    }

    public async Task SetData(string data)
    {
        _state.State.Data = data;
        _state.State.Version++;
        await _state.WriteStateAsync();
    }

    public Task<string> GetData()
    {
        return Task.FromResult(_state.State.Data);
    }
}
