Status
This project is used in production at Twitter (and many other organizations), and is being actively developed and maintained.

Documentation
To get started, see the Getting Started section of our User Guide to get up and running. Or check out the specific sections for building HTTP or Thrift servers.
Examples
An HTTP controller and server:
import com.twitter.finatra.http._
@Singleton
class ExampleController extends Controller {
get("/") { request: Request =>
"<h1>Hello, world!</h1>"
}
}
import com.twitter.finatra.http._
class ExampleServer extends HttpServer {
override def configureHttp(router: HttpRouter): Unit = {
router
.filter[CommonFilters]
.add[ExampleController]
}
}
A Thrift controller and server:
import com.twitter.finatra.thrift._
import com.twitter.scrooge.{Request, Response}
@Singleton
class ExampleThriftController
extends Controller(MyThriftService) {
handle(MyFunction).withFn { request: Request[MyFunction.Args] =>
...
}
}
import com.twitter.finatra.thrift._
class ExampleServer extends ThriftServer {
override def configureThrift(router: ThriftRouter): Unit = {
router
.add[ExampleThriftController]
}
}

Finatra includes working examples which highlight various features of the framework and include tests. These examples are included in the root sbt build and are thus buildable as part of the entire project.
Please take a look through the examples for more detailed information on features, testing, building, and running.
