REST vs. gRPC: Understanding the Shift, Performance Gains, and Practical Differences

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at two popular API architectures: REST and gRPC. From Google’s strategic shift to gRPC for its performance advantages to practical tips on error handling with .NET, we explore the key differences and use cases that define each approach.

Key topics include:

• gRPC Features and Usage: A guide to getting started with gRPC, covering supported languages, platforms, and development tips for maximizing its potential.
• Error Handling in gRPC with .NET: How to effectively use status codes and structured error messages to ensure reliable gRPC applications.
• Google’s Move from REST to gRPC: A look into Google’s decision to adopt gRPC over REST, emphasizing the performance and flexibility gains.
• Protobuf vs. JSON: ...
