Microsoft Orleans Persistence for DynamoDB

Introduction

Microsoft Orleans Persistence for DynamoDB provides grain persistence for Microsoft Orleans using Amazon's DynamoDB. This allows your grains to persist their state in DynamoDB and reload it when they are reactivated.

Getting Started

To use this package, install it via NuGet:

dotnet add package Microsoft.Orleans.Persistence.DynamoDB

Example - Configuring DynamoDB Persistence

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

var builder = Host.CreateApplicationBuilder(args)
 .UseOrleans(siloBuilder =>
 {
 siloBuilder
 .UseLocalhostClustering()
 // Configure DynamoDB as grain storage
 .AddDynamoDBGrainStorage(
 name: "dynamoStore",
 configureOptions: options =>
 {
 options.AccessKey = "YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY";
 options.SecretKey = "YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY";
 options.Region = "us-east-1";
 options.TableName = "OrleansGrainState";
 options.CreateIfNotExists = 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 DynamoDB storage
public class MyGrain : Grain, IMyGrain, IGrainWithStringKey
{
 private readonly IPersistentState<MyGrainState> _state;

 public MyGrain([PersistentState("state", "dynamoStore")] 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);
 }
}
