Apache Thrift

Apache Thrift is an open-source software framework used to facilitate communication between programs written in different programming languages. It allows developers to define data types and service interfaces in a simple file, which is then used to automatically generate code for various languages. This enables seamless interaction between services, regardless of the language they are built in, making it easier to create scalable and cross-platform applications. Thrift was originally developed by Facebook, promoting efficient network communication and data serialization for complex systems.
