A Brokerless REST Interface for gRPC Services
summary
A Protobuf compiler plugin generates Spring Web REST controllers and embeds them into a Spring Boot app so gRPC services expose a brokerless REST surface and live in the same process. Generated endpoints include Swagger/OpenAPI documentation and wire to existing gRPC stubs; demo shows create/get/delete working against an echo service. Streaming maps to JSON arrays. Implementation uses the protobuf Maven plugin; code is functional but described as not fully production hardened.
