Five Apache projects you probably didn't know about

In early 2021, I started to work on the Apache APISIX project. I have to admit that I had never heard about it before. In this post, I’d like to introduce some Apache projects that are less well-known than HTTPD or Kafka. Apache APISIX APISIX is an API Gateway. It builds upon OpenResty, a Lua layer built on top of the famous nginx reverse-proxy. APISIX adds abstractions to the mix, e.g., Route, Service, Upstream, and offers a plugin-based architecture. Lots of plugins are provided ou

Then you get an additional graphical information showing: a square for the size of your project’s codebase relative to the entire codebase’s size,a color (from red to green) for the % of rules compliance. Yet, w
