Current behavior

Expected behavior

As we can say in the document, nestjs has already supported gRPC as a way to implement microservices. But also, Apache Thrift is a good way too, and compare with gRPC, thrift has its advantage over gRPC in some aspects. So I wonder if nestjs can support thrift as one another choice to implement microservice architecture.

Maybe, I don't deny. It should be useful in some cases 👍

Is there a module system that different communication frameworks could be developed on? Just wondering if it would be better to make the core expandable for external modules to be able to add specific communication styles.

[kamilmysliwiec]

@C45tr0 there is a custom transport strategy which allows porting any communication framework easily. However, the docs aren't up to date with it, I track this issue here https://github.com/nestjs/docs.nestjs.com/issues/113
