I'm pretty sure that multiple message queue protocols are used with Apache Thrift. e.g. AMQP or MQTT The power of Thrift is combining different languages and platforms. => efficient communication across languages and cultures(platforms) is just a great thing to achieve! >>> I believe that the thrift is used very nicely in JAVA world. however does it be also used in C++ world? >>> does anybody be able to recommend good use-cases? The C++ implementation is in a good shape and it is used on Linux, Windows, OS X and many other platforms. We use it also on embedded devices. To be honest, Documentation might be better, however Randy is writing a book: http://www.manning.com/abernethy/ and we improve the docs continuously. All the best! -roger ;-r Rush: "Thrift is the Swiss Army Knife of software" Yes, fully agree on this and best wishes from Switzerland! -----Original Message----- From: henry.jykim@google [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Freitag, 17.

I also know, that a lot of the big players use it as well, a few of them are listed on the Apache Thrift web site. For example, Evernote's public API is based on Thrift. It is also used successfully in a number of other Apache projects, e.g. Cassandra and Hbase, to name just two. > > I can only speak for myself, but the simplicity and lightweight elegance of Thrift, yet powerful and flexible due to it's modular architecture, is something that still fascinates me. Thrift makes it literally a snap to connect different kinds of platforms and programming languages, utilizing whatever transport you may wish: be it sockets, pipes, files or HTTP. Even a message queueing client can be set up quickly to transport Thrift-serialized messages (see the contrib folder). > > Last not least, compared with last-century techniques like SOAP or even the more modern REST approach, Thrift is amazingly fast.

Servers are Mac/Java, clients are Mac/Windows/C++. It all works very well. We also use C++ Thrift clients and servers within the client side machines and internally between server components. We even SWIG Thrift-based client side libraries for use by the server side code.
