Current behavior

I saw there's an example in nestjs sample folder, but it creates a grpc microservice project but still uses HTTP request to access.

Expected behavior

I want to create two projects: one is grpc microservice project as server side, another project is a normal nestjs project but with grpc client in it and should connect to the server side. In this way I can deploy the server side separately and it won't affect the client side deployment. This is a common way especially I have many microservices as servers and just one client as gateway or BFF(backend for frontend) to connect with them.

I didn't find any document or articles talk about this architecture. So it would be nice if you can share one example or article about this.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Can you provide more details about how you succeeded ?

@AntoineMaitre OK, I think I should create a repository for this. I'll let you know after I've done.

Looks like the documentation lives under Microservices > gRPC: https://docs.nestjs.com/microservices/grpc

And the working example here: https://github.com/nestjs/nest/tree/master/sample/04-grpc
