GA - Any time soon?

[dazinator]

We currently run a simple asp.net core website on azure app service for windows containers. We are now looking at expanding into more of a microservices architecture, and SF Mesh seems the next logical progression. We need to assess whether SF Mesh is going to faesible within our time frame, as we will have production customers and would need the SLA's and compliance that GA would bring, as opposed to "preview" status which doesn't offer the same level of guarantees. Is there any rough estimate on GA yet?

There's been almost no activity here since 2018, the docs were last updated in 2018, it doesn't support .NET core, etc... I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

I assume SF Mesh is basically dead for some reason. A simple announcement on the state of SF Mesh would be very helpful. I guess its time for me to learn kubernetes :-(

Or you could look into the regular SF. But yes it would seem mesh is dead. As far as I know, basically each mesh instance is a regular isolated cluster because isolating the SF model from other apps on the same tenant is hard and thus sharing is not really possible.

@scottgu @ChackDan I too would like to know what is going on with Service Fabric Mesh. The getting started documentation is 2 years old, and requires us to use VS Studio 2017, and for me is not working. Even the Hello world is not working If I go to the samples the samples will not open even in VS 2017. When this was first announced this sounded like a great idea, bringing the power of service fabric but with a pay as you use model, but it looks like this has failed to deliver the same programming models including actors and reliable collections, and now is just being abandoned. Frankly even just being able to have serverless websites without a cold start would meet a lot of my needs. Please just let us know that this is the case.

That was a long time coming! I'll close this now.
