Introduction

About Avro:

Apache Avro is a data serialization system that provides a compact, fast, and efficient way to exchange data between applications written in different programming languages. It uses a schema to define the data structure, and the serialized data is self-describing, meaning the schema is included with the data, enabling easy compatibility between applications. Avro is used extensively in big data processing and distributed systems, particularly in the Apache Hadoop ecosystem.
