Microservices with Service Fabric. Easy... or is it?

on YouTube ↗01h 08m

" summary

Service Fabric supports reliable collections and in-cluster stateful services but scaling requires planning: partition count is fixed up front and repartitioning forces shuffling data out and back. The demo couples Service Fabric with Azure Service Bus queues, uses a queue-per-partition pattern, encodes partition keys in order IDs, and implements process managers/sagas persisted transactionally. It shows sender-side distribution for commands and receiver-side distribution for events, and warns about concurrency retries, routing complexity and thunked upgrade/versioning work.
