Using the Thrift RPC Framework in Zephyr
summary
Apache Thrift lands in Zephyr v3.3, bringing a code generator that already supports 28 languages, 7 protocols, 6 transports. The Zephyr port uses C++ FB Thrift features (async, coroutines, zero‑copy buffers), adds uzlib compression and embed TLS transports, and includes a comprehensive test file Thrift test.thrift. Implementation is experimental on MCUs: eventfd gets a 10× speedup, GSOC contributor implements protocols, dynamic thread stacks and POSIX pthreads land but C++ size and lack of a compression subsystem remain blockers.
