Whats the best way to host the GRPC Server?

[pra...@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I have created a GRPC Service. What's the best way to host this Service. The Server is created in C# and since this service is not part  of IIS, how should I handle the scenarios when the service shuts down? Should I override the OnShutDown() event in C# Service and the start another instance? Is there any better way to achieve this?

Hi,

we haven't really looked yet into IIS (or ASP.NET) integration yet, so as of now, gRPC C# is basically a standalone server with no relationship to IIS. That being said, any way to spin up and shutdown a gRPC server from an IIS service is fine, given it suits your needs. Feel free to share your experience here.

If there's demand for it, we will probably look into providing a more fluent integration with IIS in the future.

I filed a tracking issue https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/5425 for this.
