Dear Mam/Sir,

I am trying to use grpc-gateway with Kong?  
[[gRPC-gateway - Plugin | Kong Docs](https://docs.konghq.com/gateway/latest/configure/grpc/) ]  
[[gRPC-gateway - Plugin | Kong Docs](https://docs.konghq.com/hub/kong-inc/grpc-gateway/)]

I tried both the examples with given \*.proto file and followed steps one by one but it did not work.

However , I used grpc gateway [https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway](https://github.com/grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway) and this works fine with a proto file and I am able to use both http and grpc requests on API.

When using Kong gateway with ( grpc-gw ) plugin I have few questions:

- Do I need to set up grpc server and http server or Does the Kong plugin grpc-gw does it for me automatically?
- Does Kong gateway grpc-gw plugin automatically creates grpc server , stubs and the only input is proto file ?

Kindly let me know ,  
Thanks  
Prashant
