Embracing gRPC in .NET

Explore the world of gRPC in .NET through this informative conference talk from NDC Oslo 2022. Delve into the increasing need for scalability and performance in modern web development and discover how gRPC addresses these challenges. Learn about the limitations of classical API paradigms and how gRPC offers a solution to reduce coupling and dependencies between services. Understand gRPC's role as a first-class citizen in .NET Core 3.0 and its key features, including contract-based communication, improved performance with smaller request/response bodies, and suitability for polyglot environments. Examine the four communication models supported by gRPC, from client-server to bi-directional streaming. Compare the benefits and potential drawbacks of gRPC to traditional communication models, equipping yourself with the knowledge to make informed decisions about implementing gRPC in your .NET projects.
