.NET gRPC - deep dive
summary
Covers how .NET implements gRPC with Protocol Buffers, HTTP/2 transport and protobuf codegen, demonstrating 4 RPC modes (unary, server‑streaming, client‑streaming, bidi) with console client/server examples; shows metadata/ trailers, the ~16 gRPC status codes and RpcException handling, configurable max message size and compression, and retry vs hedging policies (including the grpc previous‑attempt header). Explains gRPC transcoding to expose JSON/HTTP endpoints, client‑side load balancing (round‑robin, pick‑first, custom resolvers), server reflection/Postman support, and tradeoffs like no caching and binary payloads.
