Orleans grains similar to NServiceBus Sagas?

Question

I Just watched the video of how Orleans was used to build Halo 4's Distributed cloud services

Answer 1

I suggest you read through both sets of documentation and see which features most closely match your requirements:

Answer 2

After going through Richard's course in the Pluralsight, I think that both overlap in functionalities. In my understanding, the grains are virtual, single threaded and live in a distributed environment like cloud.
