Blazor & gRPC - Code-first .NET SPA developer productivity

on YouTube ↗01h 03m

" summary

Uses Blazor WebAssembly with a code-first gRPC approach (protobuf-net.Grpc) to share C# interfaces and DTOs end-to-end, avoiding .proto codegen and giving full intellisense. Demo runs on .NET 5, registers services via DI, enables grpc‑web middleware and the grpc‑web binary handler, and calls a conference service returning 306 conferences over HTTP/2 binary frames. It works in browsers but requires grpc‑web proxy/middleware, adds NuGet surface area and package size, and exposes browser sandbox limitations and occasional hiccups.
