Can we add a “scenarios” page to the docs? #2937

Based on the questions I have had recently, it would be good to have a “scenario” section to the docs that explores where Actor / Orleans is a good fit. I have discussed IoT, Halo players, possibly bots, etc. If you scroll down https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/functions/ you will see a great section of Function scenarios – would be great something similar for Orleans.

I think it's a great idea.

I would love to see that too.

@sergeybykov I've had a similar conversation with many of my friends or random developers. Some think a good DB can replace Orleans, some think it can/should be able to be used for computation intensive applications which are better off partitioning the data yourself and doing computations using TPL or whatever else.

I would say this is a good idea specially if it has arguments for the usecases and describes why Orleans is a nice fit instead of Nodejs, Express and MongoDB which everything is being built on top of :)
