What about thrift? My experience with it has been pretty positive.

My original idea was to split the services up on separate servers, install yaws on each server, and then install Erlang applications as yapps on each server. This means that i can autoinstall the servers just with yaws, build Erlang apps and deployed them on the servers as needed. I could host several yapps on the same server, and if needed, move individual yapps to another server.
