Loopback-next: Facilitate communication between multiple (polyglot) microservices

[kesavkolla]

when developing microservices it's better to have complete disconnect from even code/repo structure. Let's say we've three microservices they should be able to develop independently on their own repo and be able to deploy on their own container. The communication between two different services should be pure API. grpc has done some neat constructs around this. Can we get support for service-to-service high performant rpc style communication? Currently the only communication supported is REST, which IMO is not efficient.
