Accessing .NET gRPC Endpoints from Anywhere via JSON Transcoding
JSON transcoding is a feature that has been added to gRPC in .NET 7. It allows gRPC endpoints to be accessible via a REST API, and it's much easier to set up than any alternative technology available at the time of writing, such as gRPC-Gateway and gRPC-Web.

A Standardized, Specification-Driven API Lifecycle
At QCon Plus last November, Kin Lane, Chief Evangelist with Postman, and the Open Technologies Team lead presented on API specifications. API specifications are essential to him and at Postman. So he wanted to share a bit of how they see API specifications impacting how they produce and consume APIs.

Getting Started with gRPC and .NET
In this article, the author introduces the core concepts behind gRPC and how it can be used with API development. The basic pros and cons of using gRPC instead of REST are also explained with a scenario analysis. The text is illustrated with a step-by-step tutorial on how to use gRPC to develop streaming services in .NET.

Building Effective Microservices with gRPC, Ballerina, and Go
gRPC is a relatively new implementation of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) API paradigm. It can play a major role in all synchronous communications between internal microservices. Here we examine key gRPC concepts, their usage, and benefits of having gRPC as an inter-service communication by using a real-world microservice use case.

Overcoming RESTlessness
New API protocols like GraphQL, gRPC, and Apache Kafka have risen in popularity as alternatives to REST-inspired HTTP APIs. Instead of seeking to replace REST, the software engineering industry should seek to evolve by building on the maturity of the REST ecosystem while exploiting the technological strengths of the new protocols.
