Build a Simple Chat Server With gRPC in .Net Core

In this article, we will create a simple concurrent gRPC chat server application. We will use .NET Core, a cross-platform, open-source, and modular framework, to build our chat server application. We will cover the following topics:

  • A brief introduction to gRPC.
  • Setting up the gRPC environment and defining the service contract.
  • Implementing the chat service and handling client requests.
  • Handling multiple clients concurrently using asynchronous programming
  • Broadcasting chat messages to all connected clients in the same room.

By the end of this tutorial, you will have an understanding of how to use gRPC to build a chat server.
