I have just come across Apache Thrift, and I was looking for articles that explains some of the following,

What are the advantages of Thrift over Web Services ?

Are there any comparisons of Thrift ?

When is it recommended to use Thrift over existing frameworks like Rest, SOAP or any other technology?

Some of the articles I was able to find are the following,

Cloud Implementation

Rest Alternatives

Evernote Implementation

  • `advantages of Thrift over Web Services ` - Maybe it's just a terminology problem, but how would you define "Web Service"? I have implemented Web Services offering both a SOAP and a Thrift API in parallel (in fact, you can even switch between them freely). Additionally, I'd like to point to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20653240/what-is-rpc-framework-and-apache-thrift/20664706#20664706, where I listed a number of other helpful sources of information. – JensG Jan 02 '14 at 18:52
