I tend to trust “side project” OSS software more than OSS software that is some company’s main product. Something like Apache Samza that a company builds for some aspect of its operations and then opens seems to be more trustworthy long-term because the commercial backer doesn’t have to compete with *aaS providers for their main source of revenue. Such projects obviously have their own problems (neglect, deprioritization of features the maker doesn’t need now), but otoh, the maintainers are more likely to accept contributions adding features because they have to think less about market segmentation and such.
