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.

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.
