I was caught rather disappointed that gRPC was not really serverless or cloud friendly, with so much hype on it's performance gains and how it would replace REST APIs in years to come. NET Core gPRC is still not supported in IIS or Azure (at the time of writing this post). It had to be run as a service in a server, this means you need a server instance in AWS EC2 or Azuzre VM. Seem costly if you just want to host gPRCs for small scale implementations.

I initally thought of re-developing my blog and host the static front-end in AWS S3, while leveraging on gRPCs for backend and migrating to a NoSQL database (mongodb) for performance gains while keeping hosting cost to lowest possible. Seems like I'm still stuck with REST.

Maybe I go with React JS too.
