GRPC: A Powerful Communication Protocol
GRPC is a versatile and powerful communication protocol that is gaining traction in the industry. It offers improved tooling and Azure support, making it easier to integrate into existing systems. One notable feature is server reflection, which allows developers to discover available GRPC services and execute calls using tools like Postman. Additionally, advancements like server streaming and transcoding contribute to GRPC's usability and performance. While there may be a learning curve, GRPC proves to be a solid choice for microservice communication and transitioning from technologies like WCF.
