How Apache Became the Backbone of Modern Infrastructure
Episode 4650
Published 4 days, 10 hours ago
Description
When you hear "Apache," you might think web server — but the Apache Software Foundation now stewards over 320 projects, from Kafka to Spark to Hadoop. This episode unpacks how a patch-sharing group from 1995 became the neutral home for the invisible plumbing of modern computing, and why companies donate their crown-jewel infrastructure to a volunteer-run non-profit.
