About:
Apache Avro is a data serialization system that provides rich data structures and a compact, efficient binary format. The C++ implementation allows developers to integrate robust serialization capabilities directly into high-performance applications. It is ideal for building data-intensive systems requiring efficient storage and inter-process communication.
Key Features:
  • Compact binary encoding for efficient data storage
  • Schema evolution support for backward and forward compatibility
  • Integration with C++ build systems via CMake
  • Support for complex data types and containers
Use Cases:
  • Serializing data for high-performance microservices
  • Long-term storage of structured data in data lakes
  • Inter-process communication in distributed systems
Alternatives:
  • Protocol Buffers – Protobuf is generally faster but lacks Avro's dynamic schema resolution and JSON compatibility.
  • Thrift – Thrift offers similar binary efficiency but is tied more tightly to specific code generation workflows.
