What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables seamless gRPC integration for high-performance inter-service communication in ABP Framework microservices. It addresses the need for efficient, strongly-typed, and streaming-capable APIs, overcoming the limitations of traditional REST for internal service interactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Protobuf-First Development: Guides on defining gRPC service contracts using Protobuf, ensuring a single source of truth for client and server.
• Streaming Patterns: Demonstrates implementation of Unary, Server Streaming, Client Streaming, and Bidirectional Streaming RPCs for diverse communication needs.
• ABP Integration: Shows how to implement gRPC services within ABP, handle multi-tenancy, and consume gRPC clients in application services.
• Use Case: A microservices team needs to transfer large volumes of license plate data between services efficiently. Using this skill, they implement a gRPC client streaming service for bulk data ingestion, significantly improving transfer speed and reliability.

Quick Start

Define a simple gRPC service in a .proto file for a 'Product' entity, including a unary RPC to GetProductById and a server streaming RPC to GetAllProducts.
