Introduction to gRPC

In this episode, Robert is joined by Sourabh Shirhatti, who shows how to build a gRPC service with Visual Studio. Sourabh starts with an introduction to gRPC, a language agnostic, high-performance Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework, and reviews why it was created and what benefits it has over other ways of building services. Sourabh then creates a service from scratch in Visual Studio and then builds an app to call it.

I'm not a .net developer but this was an excellent grpc introduction!

[DevJonathanRamos]

Great introduction. Thanks a lot Sourabh Shirhatti, this video is informative as it is funny.

[zeetsoft]

Thank you so much. Its never like things are easy but with perfect people on the show makes it looks like. Amazing

[BenHayat]

Reminds me of good old Silverlight Ria Services.

I'd love to see a seesion built with Blazor client and gRPC-web.

[UdayKumarBR]

informative, example is quite enough to kick start learnings on microservices using gRPC

[kanghadipribadi]

Insightful, Thx. Robert & Sourabh

Note that you do not have to use Web project but can host a gRPC service inside of a console app if you wish to do so.

This was insightful, I do not see my self using this anytime in near future but i am very excited about gRPC. its a new game play and I see a lot of potential. Anyway this channel has taught me a lot. thank you for this rich content that you provide on this channel, keep them coming

Nice demo and learn new things . Thanks

12:12. How do I make SayHello(...) in the server code to be asynchronous? There's not a version of base method of SayHello(...) that comes with "async" keyword. What if from SayHello(...) I want to make an async call to aoother gRPC server with "await"? What's the recommended way to make it work?

[LindenMikus]

Thanks for the video. Are the messages between the client and server encrypted with grpc? Would be great to see a tutorial on authentication/authorization.

Can we run Grpc as a windows service in background . I have tried but there is no event listener for corresponding IP adresse for this service. Could you pleas clarify, how we can do that or what the potential problem .

[srinivasadineshparupalli]

Awesome video. I can recollect a scenario, this for a prj which I was working. It was for a Petroleum Organization. We wanted to know how many employees are actually on the ground zero near to the actual extraction, this we implemented with few of mixture of technologies stack, but now this gRPC is a game changer for me. I need to convince my client on it, tho ;-).

[MrZyvox]

I don't like "magic". It breaks things and you never know why. 😇 Still cool though.

[sudhar]

What is new in gRpc, looks same like RPC. Only difference I found is proto file. is there any other difference

[antonispolykratis]

Could you extend it for c++ with visual studio?

[KumarShantanu]

It look very similar to WCF, One-Way, Duplex, Add Svc Reference.

[RaviBelkhindi]

Please create demo for c++, here is no resource available

[jassimibrahim]

Hi, I would like to know how to use the message of one .proto file in another .proto file ?

Can you someone give an estimate for how long it'll take to learn until you're able to build an API using gRPC? In hours.
