What it does
Build or review gRPC services and clients in .NET. USE FOR: ASP.NET Core gRPC, protobuf contracts, unary or streaming RPC, gRPC client factory, interceptors, deadlines, cancellation, channel reuse, backend service integration. DO NOT USE FOR: broad browser-facing APIs without gRPC-Web tradeoff review, SignalR realtime hubs, plain REST APIs. INVOKES: dotnet build/test and focused service or client smoke checks when code changes.
gRPC for .NET
Trigger On
- building backend-to-backend RPC services or clients
- adding protobuf contracts, streaming calls, or interceptors
- deciding between gRPC, HTTP APIs, and SignalR
- optimizing gRPC performance, deadlines, cancellation, or connection reuse
- integrating service-to-service communication in microservices
Do Not Use For
- public browser-first APIs unless gRPC-Web limitations are explicitly acceptable
- SignalR hub design, realtime UI fan-out, or websocket-style client collaboration
- generic ASP.NET Core minimal APIs or REST controllers with no protobuf/RPC requirement
- non-.NET gRPC work unless the user asks for cross-stack contract guidance
