From WCF to gRPC
summary
Shows a practical path from WCF to gRPC by mapping WCF patterns to concrete gRPC features: request/response, server streaming, client streaming and bidirectional streaming to emulate sessions, with code samples converting a Hotel service and using implicit casts between protobuf types and existing data contracts. Uses ASP.NET Core gRPC on Kestrel over HTTP/2, proto files generated by grpc.tools, protobuf field numbers for safe versioning, and a Visual Recode migrator that scaffolds projects (commercial tool). Talks about TLS certs, DI integration, and known protobuf type limitations (no native decimal).
