Azure Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform used to build scalable, reliable, and easily-managed applications for the cloud. Service Fabric addresses the challenges in developing and managing cloud applications. By using Service Fabric developers and administrators can avoid solving complex infrastructure problems and focus instead on implementing mission critical, demanding workloads knowing that they are scalable, reliable, and manageable.

Azure Service Fabric enables you to build and manage scalable and reliable applications composed of microservices running at very high density on a shared pool of machines (commonly referred to as a Service Fabric cluster). It provides a sophisticated runtime for building distributed, scalable stateless and stateful microservices and comprehensive application management capabilities for provisioning, deploying, monitoring, upgrading/patching, and deleting deployed applications.
