gRPC Sample

Example how to work with gRPC using .NET Core/ASP.NET Core and Python.

---

This example shows how to work with gRPC using .NET and Python. gRPC Server is provided by an ASP.NET Core backend. Each client shows then how to connect and interact with this server.

Examples consider all available communication patters of gRPC:

• Unary RPCs
• Server streaming RPCs
• Client streaming RPCs
• Bidirectional streaming RPCs

Current state of implementation:

• ASP.NET Core Server
  • Unary RPC
  • Server streaming RPC
  • Client streaming RPC
  • Bidirectional streaming
• ASP.NET Core Client
  • Unary RPC
  • Server streaming RPC
  • Client streaming RPC
  • Bidirectional streaming
• Python Client (in progress)
  • Unary RPC
  • Server streaming RPC
  • Client streaming RPC
  • Bidirectional streaming
