We use Thrift and Kryo, and we haven’t done any formal analysis recently. Performance numbers for those should be easy to find by googling around.
I can say that we push tens of thousands of messages per second at peak and serialization hasn’t been a cause of production lag in the entire year that I’ve been working on this application. That’s an imprecise analysis, but I would readily recommend either library in a case where performance is your only concern. (Though, Avro may prove to be a better choice than Thrift these days.) > On Jan 9, 2018, at 11:17 PM, Ali Nazemian <alinazem...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks, Matt.
