The topic of orchestration comes up a lot when discussing applications. We will cover:
How the word "orchestration" has been used to mean so many different things that it is a meaningless term now for shared understanding
What I think people actually mean when they say they want orchestration (ordered execution of operations across a fleet)
Why this model of thinking is incompatible with the autonomous actor model
How we could build systems that get us the outcomes of orchestration without needing to build it explicitly.
How this is particularly pertinent in an era of containerization and microservices.
