Embracing gRPC in .NET
summary
gRPC in .NET is contract-first (protobuf) over HTTP/2 with binary protobuf payloads, code generation and four call patterns: unary, server-streaming, client-streaming and bi‑directional streaming. The demos are console apps showing unary RPCs, client/server streams and bidi streams, plus a client-side round‑robin example across localhost:5000 and 5002 proving load distribution works. Net6 adds built‑in retries, hedging and client-side load balancing, interceptors, trailers and compression. Downsides: POST-only (no transport caching), tighter CI/CD for the single proto file and limited Azure/native hosting and grpc‑web stream support.
