Writing REST Services for the gRPC-curious
summary
Generates a reverse-proxy via gRPC-Gateway (protoc plugin protoc-gen-grpc-gateway) that maps HTTP verbs and URL paths to gRPC methods, emits OpenAPI docs, and translates JSON to protobuf with TLS between gateway and gRPC server. Live boilerplate demo adds a user name, regenerates code, and the REST UI and backend both update and work immediately. Supports well‑known types, automated field mask handling for PATCH, custom error mapping, cookies, browser clients and non‑Go backends.
