fb303 is a base Thrift service and a common set of functionality for querying stats, options, and other information from a service.
fb303 depends on
And all transitive dependencies of the above.
You can have your own thrift service interface extend fb303_core.BaseService to
utilize the fb303 API. Some of the primary interfaces defined by fb303 are:
getStatus()- Query the state of a running service.getCounters()- Get custom statistics about the performance and behavior of a service.getExportedValues()- Get arbitrary string values exported by a service. This can be used to export things such as the build metadata (version info and the source control commit ID it was built from) and other key configuration information.getOptions()/setOption()- Get and set configurable service parameters.
C++ service handler implementations can extend facebook::fb303::BaseService for
default implementations of the Thrift methods.

fb303 is a dependency of many other projects at Facebook which expose Thrift interfaces; some which have been open-sourced. Examples include edenfs, proxygen, and fboss.
This project has evolved over many years, and parts of it predate C++11. While it provides useful functionality for service information reporting, it is not representative of modern C++ coding standards.
An early version of fb303 was originally open-sourced in the Apache Thrift project in 2008, and still exists in the Apache Thrift codebase under contrib/fb303/. The fb303 code has since continued evolving at Facebook. This version contained in this repository has significantly expanded functionality with regards to statistics tracking and reporting in C++ services.
