### Description
Currently, the HTTP API for PubSub is less than ideal. The fact that you have to send an HTTP GET request to publish something and listen to a stream to subscribe to something is clunky (and slow!), and is exactly what gRPC is meant to solve! I suggest that a new endpoint be added that exposes PubSub using gRPC.
