Thrift is what xooglers at Facebook implemented when they wanted Stubby. grpc is Google's own open source edition of Stubby.

They are very similar paradigm-wise.

Wait, what? IIRC Stubby is a lockserver, used for two things: coordinated locks, and small coordinated data. You mean protobuff, don't you? Am I misremembering and/or wrong?
