Why is apache developing all those servers that are only useful to a handful of companies that are rich enough to build them themselves? How about building something that individuals can use, like, i dunno, apache server itself?
- Eikon 7y agoIf you did bother to read the linked page, you would have understood that it’s a yahoo project handed over to Apache for management like many of Apache’s projects.
- buboard 7y agoyeah i m talking more generally about their full list here: https://www.apache.org/ https://www.apache.org/
- mindw0rk 7y agoThere are a lot of projects that were handed to Apache to manage. Kafka for example was initially created by LinkedIn. So yeah, you are right, big corps are actually creating those tools, and in addition to this, giving it away as open source to public.
- eronwright 7y agoBest part is that the tools are put into production before being open-sourced. In other words, they actually work.
