Overview
An industrial-grade, high-performance RPC framework built in C++ and used extensively in mission-critical, latency-sensitive distributed services.
Key Features
Ultra-high performance with lock-free concurrency (bthread M:N user-space threading).
Multi-protocol support: Baidu-std, gRPC, HTTP/HTTPS, Redis, Memcached, Thrift.
Built-in diagnostic web services (bvar, /status, /vars, /rpcz) for live profiling.
Advanced traffic management: backup requests, circuit breaking, locality routing.
Use Cases
High-concurrency search engines, ad-serving ranking systems, and real-time AI inference pipelines.
Getting Started
Clone repository, build via CMake, and implement services using Protocol Buffers and C++.
Recent Updates
Graduated to Apache Top-Level Project with RDMA network acceleration and gRPC interoperability.
