Explore the Apache Thrift Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework's integration with the Zephyr ecosystem in this 45-minute conference talk. Learn about Thrift's origins at Facebook, its IDL specification, and code generation capabilities. Discover how Thrift supports multiple operating systems, programming languages, protocols, and transports. Gain insights into Thrift's rich set of types and data structures, and how it abstracts transport and protocol details to streamline application development. Examine language features through .thrift file examples, understand cost reduction benefits, and identify scenarios where Thrift is most beneficial. Explore the process of incorporating Thrift into Continuous Integration workflows. Conclude with an interactive demonstration showcasing the efficiency of developing for the Zephyr RTOS using Thrift.
