gRPC is a great way to implement a RESTful API [0]. Instead of saying `POST /thing` or `POST /things` or actually `PUT /thing` and maybe `POST /thing/1` you can say:

    service ThingService {
      rpc CreateThing(CreateThingRequest) returns (Thing);
      rpc DeleteThing(DeleteThingRequest) returns (ThingDeleted); // No arguing about if this is within the HTTP spec and supported as it just works :)
      rpc UpdateThing(...) returns (Thing); 
      rpc ListThings(...) returns (stream Thing);
    }
