About:
Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. It combines a software stack with a code generation engine to build services that work efficiently and seamlessly between C++, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, and more. Its main value is enabling efficient RPC communication between different programming languages.

Key Features:

Cross-language RPC (Remote Procedure Call) support
Interface Definition Language (IDL) for defining data types and service interfaces
Code generation engine for multiple programming languages
Support for multiple protocols (binary, compact, JSON) and transports

Use Cases:

Building microservices that need to communicate across different programming language stacks
Creating high-performance, scalable backend services for large-scale applications

Alternatives:

gRPC – Modern RPC framework from Google, uses HTTP/2 and Protocol Buffers, more active development than Thrift 0.9.
Apache Avro – Focuses on data serialization with schema evolution, less emphasis on full RPC stack.
