.NET gRPC - deep dive

on YouTube ↗59m

" summary

gRPC on .NET generates C# from .proto files, uses HTTP/2 with Protobuf serialization and shows about ~50% smaller payload in tests (with compression dropping to roughly one quarter). Visual Studio can add .proto as service reference, grpc-dotnet client runs over a created channel, retry backoffs and hedging are configurable, and demos show unary, server/client/bi‑directional streaming. Limits include 1 MB message guideline and absence of HTTP caching; demo also exercises client-side load balancing (round-robin) across two server instances.
