What the hell is gRPC and when should I use it?

Windows Communication Foundation

gRPC is just a system that facilitates Remote Procedure Calls and is mostly analogous to WCF in the .net world.

Protobuf

Both gRPC and WCF can communicate over different wire formats, the default with gRPC is protocol buffers (which is really what I feel most answers are focusing on), and WCF defaults to using SOAP, though can also provide rest-like services, and utilise JSON.
