"Apache Thrift Review"

5/5

What do you like best about Apache Thrift?

It is the fastest way to connect two or more different platform so they can work together in a system.

Now you can divide your system into totally separate modules or severs with totally different technologies and still you can connect them as if they are a single server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Thrift?

maybe more documentations and examples will be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it is a great way to connect different system module together so you can get the best of every technology separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Thrift solving and how is that benefiting you?

we are using it to connect multiple application servers together like api server and authentication server. This enables us to separate different roles on different servers with different technologies and still be able to work together as a unit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
