# Exploring the Power of gRPC-Gateway for Writing RESTful Services


- **Event:** World Congress 2026 Europe - Virtual Stage

## Description

In this talk, I will cover the topic of creating RESTful services with gRPC-Gateway. I’ll provide an overview of gRPC-Gateway and explain the problem it solves. Additionally, I’ll demonstrate how to build a basic Hello World gRPC service and utilize gRPC-Gateway to expose it as a RESTful service.

To begin the talk, I will provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of both gRPC and REST. From there, I will delve into the topic of gRPC-Gateway, discussing its purpose, usage, and problem-solving capabilities. Finally, I will showcase how to create a basic Hello World REST service using gRPC-Gateway.
