Microservices Communication in .NET Using gRPC

Chapter 1: Creating a Basic gRPC Application on ASP.NET Core

In this chapter, we will learn how to build a basic ASP.NET Core server application that uses gRPC. We will also build a basic console application that will act as a gRPC client.

The main objectives of this chapter are to introduce you to gRPC and to show you how easy it is to set up and use as a communication mechanism between separate services inside a distributed application. This would especially be relevant in a microservice architecture, where many different services act as one application with many moving components. You will see that using gRPC for communication between separate applications is almost as easy as calling methods inside the same application.
