Through this book, you have gathered a wide scope of knowledge about Apache Thrift, and how to use it with different programming languages. You learned about its internals, how to define your services, implement the client and server in different languages, and how to handle errors. You even ran your first simple services and clients.
Now we will put this information together to work on a bit more complicated application. The goal of this chapter is to provide a step-by-step tutorial to create clients and services with Apache Thrift, applying all the knowledge gained from the previous chapters.
This chapter has a deliberately planned structure, which resembles a typical workflow for such a project. I encourage you to use it as a template for your future work.
