## Actors
### How does Dapr relate to Orleans and Service Fabric Reliable Actors?
The actors in Dapr are based on the same virtual actor concept that [Orleans](https://www.microsoft.com/research/project/orleans-virtual-actors/) started, meaning that they are activated when called and garbage collected after a period of time. If you are familiar with Orleans, Dapr C# actors will be familiar. Dapr C# actors are based on [Service Fabric Reliable Actors](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/service-fabric/service-fabric-reliable-actors-introduction) (which also came from Orleans) and enable you to take Reliable Actors in Service Fabric and migrate them to other hosting platforms such as Service Fabric Mesh, Kubernetes or other on-premise environments.

Also Dapr is about more than just actors. It provides you with a set of best practice building blocks to build into any microservices application. See [Dapr overview](https://github.com/dapr/docs/blob/master/overview.md)
