gRPC for .NET

Overview

gRPC is a high-performance RPC framework that uses Protocol Buffers (protobuf) for service contracts and HTTP/2 for transport. In .NET, Grpc.AspNetCore hosts gRPC services inside ASP.NET Core, and provides a strongly-typed client. gRPC supports four communication patterns: unary (request-response), server streaming, client streaming, and bidirectional streaming.
