.NET gRPC - deep dive
summary
Practical .NET gRPC guide showing how proto files generate C# types, where generated code lives, and how to wire a server and console client; demos cover unary, server streaming, client streaming and bidirectional streaming with HTTP/2 and protobuf binary payloads. Shows configuring retry policies (retries/backoff), max message sizes, gzip compression, auth options and how to expose gRPC as REST via gRPC transcoding (with Swagger). Client-side load balancing between two running instances works in the demo and retries succeed transparently.
