About the project

Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack for point-to-point RPC. Its compiler generates code from a simple IDL across 28 languages, letting programs in different languages share data and call remote procedures.

Useful for

Generate clients and servers in different languages from a single .thrift file
Set up RPC communication between services written in C++, Java, and Python
Upgrade the server while keeping compatibility with older clients

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
