Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform for packaging, deploying, and managing stateless and stateful microservices and containers at large scale. It runs on Windows and Linux across any cloud, datacenter, or local development machine, and includes tooling such as the Service Fabric CLI and SDKs for .NET and Java.
Use cases
- orchestrate stateful and stateless microservices at scale
- deploy and manage containerized applications across clusters
- run a distributed applications platform on-premises or in any cloud
- build reliable services with built-in state management and failover
- perform rolling upgrades of distributed applications with zero downtime
- deploy a managed Service Fabric cluster with ARM templates
- run a local development cluster on a laptop for microservices testing
When to choose
- you need stateful microservices with built-in replication, failover, and lifecycle management
- you want a single platform to run both containers and guest executables side by side
- you need to run the same distributed platform across Azure, other clouds, on-premises datacenters, and developer laptops
- you require fine-grained control over cluster placement, upgrades, and health monitoring
When to avoid
- you only need simple container orchestration without stateful service support - Kubernetes may be a better fit
- your team is not prepared for the operational complexity of a large-scale distributed systems platform
- you depend heavily on the Kubernetes ecosystem and its tooling
- you want a fully serverless experience with no cluster management at all
