Embracing gRPC in .NET
summary
gRPC in .NET uses a shared protobuf/.proto contract that generates GreeterClient/GreeterBase code so services run without NuGet client libraries, speak HTTP/2 with gRPC and use compact protobuf serialization for smaller payloads. Demo shows all four RPC modes—unary, server/client/bidi streaming—implemented as a console client + ASP.NET Core server, uses channels and trailers, and triggers an RPC DEADLINE_EXCEEDED when a 1ms deadline is set; Rider has a proto editor plugin for authoring.
