Scaling gRPC Applications via DNS Load Balancing
Explore how to scale gRPC applications by implementing DNS load balancing in ASP.NET Core. Understand how to configure the gRPC client factory, manage client connections across multiple server instances, and enable efficient distribution of client requests to handle high volumes of traffic in distributed applications.
We'll cover the following...
Having a single server that clients connect to over the network is acceptable if there are relatively few clients trying to connect to it simultaneously. However, what if our application needs to support thousands, or even millions, of connected clients? In this case, having a single server would no longer be sufficient. We would need to scale our application across multiple servers.
Scaling out is a process of deploying many duplicate server-side applications. These application instances still act as a single distributed application, but client ...
