Orleans .NET 8 ADO.NET Clustering & Persistence with PostgreSQL

Microsoft Orleans is a distributed actor framework for building scalable systems. This setup uses ADO.NET for clustering (managing silo membership) and persistence (storing grain state) with PostgreSQL as the database. The example uses .NET 8, Orleans 8.2.0, and Npgsql 8.0.7. Technologies and NuGet Packages .NET 8: The runtime environment. Microsoft Orleans 8.2.0: Framework for distributed systems. PostgreSQL: Relational database for clustering and persistence.
