Apache Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack for point-to-point RPC implementation. It provides clean abstractions and implementations for data transport, data serialization, and application level processing, enabling programs written in different programming languages to share data and call remote procedures. This project is designed for developers who need to build interoperable RPC clients and servers across multiple programming languages, supporting 28 languages and allowing non-atomic version changes for seamless upgrades.
