What? Embedding HTTP requests and responses into a gRPC service; a service and client to translate back and forth between the two, so you can use them with your faviourite mux.

Why? Get all the goodness of protobuf encoding, HTTP/2, snappy, load balancing, persistent connection and native Kuberneretes load balancing with ~none of the effort.

To rebuild generated protobuf code, run:

protoc -I ./ --go_out=plugins=grpc:./ ./httpgrpc.proto
