Facebook's evolved branch of Apache Thrift, providing a serialization and RPC framework with a rewritten compiler and a fully asynchronous C++ Thrift server. It generates client/server stubs and serializable data structures across languages with strong C++, Python, Hack, and Java support.
Use cases
- build high-performance RPC services in C++
- serialize structured data across languages
- generate client and server stubs from Thrift IDL files
- run an asynchronous Thrift server for microservices
- serialize records on disk for storage systems
When to choose
- you need a battle-tested RPC framework at large scale, as used at Facebook
- you want cross-language serialization with a schema/IDL
- you need a fully asynchronous C++ server
When to avoid
- you need vanilla Apache Thrift compatibility, since this branch has diverged
- your stack doesn't include C++, Python, Hack, or Java
- you want a simple REST/JSON API instead of binary RPC
