Simple demo of communication between elixir and ruby applications via thrift models using tackle AMQP client.

Inside ruby-thrift directory

Compile .thrift file with:

thrift -r --gen rb thrift/models.thrift

Start consuming messages from elixir app with:

bundle exec ruby lib/consume.rb

Send message to elixir app with:

bundle exec ruby lib/send.rb

Inside the elixir-thrift directory:
Run these commands like in any other elixir app:

mix deps.get
mix deps.compile
mix run --no-halt

This will enable you to receive messages.
For the sending, you'll need to add the following line to the code:

ElixirThrift.Sender.send

This can be added in the lib/elixir_thrift.ex file. That means that only one message will be sent, when the app is started. You can also add the line inside the handle_message function in the lib/elixir-thrift/receiver.ex file. That way, every time a message is received, a message will be sent to the ruby app.
