Chapter 4: Performance Best Practices for Using gRPC on .NET

Since gRPC is often used for processing large volumes of data inside a distributed application, this communication mechanism must be optimized for the best performance. In this chapter, we will cover some best practices when it comes to using gRPC on ASP.NET Core to optimize its performance as much as possible.

If you don't know how to optimize gRPC for the best performance, you are running the risk of not being able to cope with the volume of data that your application is intended to process. Alternatively, you may need to scale your application out, which would require you to use additional software and hardware resources. If you are running your application under a cloud subscription, such as Microsoft Azure or Amazon AWS, unnecessarily scaling your application out will probably cost you some additional money. This is why it's important to use gRPC to its maximum potential before scaling out is required.
