中文版

An industrial-grade RPC framework used throughout Baidu, with 1,000,000+ instances(not counting clients) and thousands kinds of services, called "baidu-rpc" inside Baidu. Only C++ implementation is opensourced right now.

You can use it to:

• Build a server that can talk in multiple protocols (on same port), or access all sorts of services
  • restful http/https, h2/gRPC. using http/h2 in brpc is much more friendly than libcurl. Access protobuf-based protocols with HTTP/h2+json, probably from another language.
  • redis and memcached, thread-safe, more friendly and performant than the official clients.
  • rtmp/flv/hls, for building streaming services.
  • hadoop_rpc (may be opensourced)
  • rdma support (will be opensourced)
  • thrift support, thread-safe, more friendly and performant than the official clients.
  • all sorts of protocols used in Baidu: baidu_std, streaming_rpc, hulu_pbrpc, sofa_pbrpc, nova_pbrpc, public_pbrpc, ubrpc and nshead-based ones.
  • Build HA distributed services using an industrial-grade implementation of RAFT consensus algorithm which is opensourced at braft
• Servers can handle requests synchronously or asynchronously.
• Clients can access servers synchronously, asynchronously, semi-synchronously, or use combo channels to simplify sharded or parallel accesses declaratively.
• Debug services via http, and run cpu, heap and contention profilers.
• Get better latency and throughput.
• Extend brpc with the protocols used in your organization quickly, or customize components, including naming services (dns, zk, etcd), load balancers (rr, random, consistent hashing)
