gRPC is a high performance Remote Procedure Call framework that can efficiently connect services in and across data centers with pluggable support for load balancing, tracing, health checking and authentication.

This video I show you how to get started with gRPC in .NET 5/ .NET Core 3.x using Unary and streaming calls. The source code for the project developed during this video can be found here:
