Orleans Smart Cache Pattern

I discovered the Orleans Smart Cache Pattern by listening to a talk by John Azariah and Sergey Bykov. The idea is that you can use Orleans as a distributed cache in front of (permanent) storage. This is really ideal if you have a read heavy system, which most are. You could optionally also choose to buffer your writes when you make state changes. Ultimately you will reduce load on your storage by accessing data/state from memory.
