In previous posts, we focused on Dapr service invocation using the HTTP protocol. Dapr, through its service invocation, can also reliably and securely communicate with other applications using gRPC. We will have a look at this other capability in this post.

In the last post, we have seen how to call a service from another service using the Dapr .NET SDK. In this one, we will have a look at a possible way to simplify the development of the client code using Refit, the automatic type-safe REST library for .NET Core, Xamarin, and .NET.

In the previous two posts, we tackled the way to start with Dapr and how to call services. In this one, we will see how we can leverage the Dapr .NET SDK to handle service to service calls.

• Getting started with Dapr for .NET Developers
• Using Service Invocation from Dapr .NET SDK

In the previous post “Getting started with Dapr for .NET Developers“ we have seen how easy it was to expose a web API written in .NET and the power of exposing it through Dapr sidecar. In this post, we are looking at the different possible ways to invoke that service.

Dapr for .NET Developers is a great book, read in a weekend, to start gaining an understanding of what Dapr is and especially for .NET Developers. In this post, we will see how you can use .NET to create a service and run it with Dapr and what does this provides.
