From WCF to gRPC
summary
Microsoft recommends gRPC over retiring WCF and the talk shows concrete migration patterns: wrap WCF method parameters into protobuf request/response objects, use ASP.NET Core 3.1 with grpc web in ASP.NET Core to avoid sidecars, emulate WCF duplex with bidirectional streams, and handle decimals with a decimal proto workaround that maps to C# decimals. A demo tool Visual Recode automates most of the conversion, and benchmarks claim net‑tcp‑like binary performance with cross‑platform interoperability.
