Embracing gRPC in .NET

Explore the benefits of gRPC in .NET for modern web development in this conference talk from NDC Porto 2022. Discover how gRPC addresses the increasing need for scalability and performance in service-to-service communication. Learn about the advantages of gRPC's contract-based approach, its performance improvements with smaller request/response bodies, and its suitability for polyglot environments. Examine the four communication models supported by gRPC, including client-server and bi-directional streaming. Compare gRPC to traditional API paradigms, understanding its potential to reduce coupling and dependencies between projects. Gain insights into implementing gRPC in .NET Core 3.0 and beyond, where it is treated as a first-class citizen. Evaluate the pros and cons of adopting gRPC for your microservices architecture and service communication needs.
