Why take this course?
🚀 gRPC [C#] Master Class: Build Modern API & Microservices 🌟
Headline: Better than REST API! Build a fast scalable HTTP/2 API for a .NET microservice with gRPC, Protocol Buffers (protobuf)! 🌐✨
Course Description: gRPC is a cutting-edge framework for building high-performance and scalable APIs. It's the backbone of many top tech companies like Google, Square, and Netflix, allowing developers to craft microservices in any language while ensuring seamless communication across services. This course dives deep into gRPC, leveraging Protocol Buffers as its foundation for efficient data serialization, and the Service Definition language to define service interfaces.
What You'll Learn:
- Comprehensive Overview: Understand the core concepts of gRPC and how it outperforms traditional REST APIs.
- Hands-On Experience: Implement two real-world services - Greet and a Calculator Service - from scratch using C#.
- gRPC Fundamentals: Write .proto files, generate code, and implement servers and clients for Unary, Server Streaming, Client Streaming, and Bi-Directional Streaming RPCs.
- Advanced Concepts: Grasp complex topics like Error Handling, Deadlines, SSL Security, and more.
- Practical Application: Build a full CRUD API on top of MongoDB to solidify your skills.
- Exercises & Solutions: Put theory into practice with comprehensive exercises designed to reinforce your learning.
- Real-World Insights: Get pointers for further study and see how gRPC is used in real-world applications.

Comidoc Review
Our Verdict
This Udemy Master Class on gRPC with C# provides an in-depth exploration of a modern HTTP/2 API for .NET microservices. With 4 total hours of instruction, students benefit from a mix of theory and practical implementation exercises that touch upon bi-directional streaming, advanced security features, and CRUD operations. Although some examples showcase older .NET Framework versions or lack real-world recommendations, the course is still valuable for developers who wish to refine their skills using gRPC with C#.
What We Liked
- Excellent overview of gRPC with C#, clear distinction between theory and implementation.
- Detailed step-by-step instructions for building a fast scalable API.
- Hands-on exercises for practicing gRPC concepts, including error handling, deadlines, SSL security, and CRUD operations over MongoDB.
- Comprehensive exploration of unary, server streaming, client streaming, and bi-directional streaming scenarios.
- Instructors Stephane and Clement provide unique insights to help deepen understanding.
Potential Drawbacks
- Code examples are outdated—some may not work with newer .NET versions; consider Entity Framework or SQLite as alternatives to MongoDB for CRUD.
- Lack of real-world architecture—missing best practices on sharing proto files and load balancing.
- Some compiler warnings were overlooked, creating confusion around proper implementation.
- Repetitive boilerplate code in sections 6-8; SSL section misses essential details.
- The title is slightly misleading as some course content covers basic gRPC concepts.
