fbthrift
Facebook's evolved branch of Apache Thrift, featuring a new C++ compiler and fully asynchronous server for high-performance RPC and serialization.
What is fbthrift?
Facebook Thrift is an open-source serialization and remote procedure call (RPC) framework evolved from Apache Thrift. It provides a code generator, serialization protocols, and an RPC framework to enable efficient service communication across multiple programming languages. It solves the problem of building high-performance, cross-language services with features like backwards compatibility and a fully asynchronous C++ server.
Developers and engineers building distributed systems, microservices, or storage systems that require efficient cross-language communication, particularly those using C++, Python, Hack, or Java.
Developers choose Facebook Thrift for its performance-optimized design, fully asynchronous C++ server, strong cross-language support, and Facebook's internal evolution of the Thrift framework, which includes a rewritten compiler and enhanced capabilities over the original Apache version.
