Personal Project(s)

I developed a gRPC stress-testing web application as a Blazor Server project in C#, leveraging EF Core, SSMS and SQL Server for data persistence and JWT for secure access. The tool exercises gRPC endpoints across four patterns, unary single, unary batch, streaming single and streaming batch, collecting critical metrics like jitter and delay timings, giving insight into the utilisation of channels and how performant gRPC is under stressful conditions.
