Synopsis

Make applications cross-communicate using Apache Thrift! About This Book * Leverage Apache Thrift to enable applications written in different programming languages (Java, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby, and so on) to cross-communicate. * Learn to make your services ready for real-world applications by using stepwise examples and modifying code from Industry giants. * Be a crackerjack at solving Apache Thrift-related issues. Who This Book Is For If you have some experience of developing applications in one or more languages supported by Apache Thrift (C++, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, and others) and want to broaden your knowledge and skills in building cross-platform, scalable applications, then this book is for you. What You Will Learn * Understand the need for cross-language services and the basics of Apache Thrift. * Learn how Apache Thrift works and what problems it solves. * Determine when to use Apache Thrift instead of other methods (REST API), and when not to use it. * Create and run an example application using Apache Thrift. * Use Apache Thrift in your applications written in different languages supported by Apache Thrift (PHP, Python, Ruby, Java, and C++). * Handle exceptions and deal with errors. * Modify code in different languages. * Use Apache Thrift in the production environments of big applications. In Detail With modern software systems being increasingly complex, providing a scalable communication architecture for applications in different languages is tedious. The Apache Thrift framework is the solution to this problem! It helps build efficient and easy-to-maintain services and offers a plethora of options matching your application type by supporting several popular programming languages, including C++, Java, Python, PHP, Ruby, Erlang, Perl, Haskell, C#, Cocoa, JavaScript, Node.js, Smalltalk, OCaml, and Delphi.
