It's cool to stumble upon Apache projects every now and then. Not all of them get that much love, but often they have pretty nice functionality. I still remember that setting up Apache Skywalking was one of the easier ways of getting some APM and tracing in place, compared to the other options out there. And, of course, the likes of Apache2 and Apache Tomcat are also quite useful in some circumstances.

As one of the people who got Sun to open source what became Apache Tomcat, much appreciated to hear that. =)

  Even after all these years, Tomcat is still incredibly solid, so thanks for that :-) Sometimes I do worry about the long term survival of the ASF. Many projects are largely supported by 1 person. A lot of projects are mostly abandoned (but not yet moved to the attic). Many others suffer from the blight of "what the hell is this for?", where their website is so vague that it might as well not exist.

  Thanks for that. Ran my first SaaS on Tomcat.

  Thanks for that. We used Tomcat as our app server at my last company from 2008 until I left in 2019. I'm guessing it's still be used....

Shout out to Apache Nifi

  I did a project not long ago with NiFi and couldn't have been happier... And this was a use case not fully in line with what NiFi is. The community was especially helpful, responsive, and patient with my limited understanding of their tool. In the end it was the most stable part of the overall project operationally speaking.

    I've always wondered how far you can push it to build a distributed application considering it can be clustered and you can control threading on the processors. Seems like you could prototype out a pretty large, robust backend without dealing with the overhead of individual services.
