Summary
Fern has launched the world's first generated, idiomatic gRPC and REST SDK. The company partnered with Pinecone to deliver a best-in-class C# SDK for the .NET community. This new SDK supports gRPC for all of Pinecone’s data plane and traditional REST for the control plane. Fern's primary focus is on consumer-facing REST SDKs, but it recognizes that companies may need to lean into more performance-sensitive technology like gRPC and Protobuf. By integrating gRPC alongside REST in their latest SDK, they are bridging the gap between broad compatibility and peak performance, offering developers the best of both worlds.
