I thought it was a problem to navigate through all AWS services. Then I discovered (surely not) all the Apache projects.

This is by no means a criticism, rather amusement when looking at all the projects within the epic Apache ecosystem.

Apache is lately semi-dumping ground of Java server side/big data types of projects. This rocketmq is developed by Alibaba. Not sure if they are still fully involved or planning to move on to next thing.

The model is dump the core on Apache and try to make money by value added services like management, monitoring, clustering etc if it is created by software vendor or try to defray the maintenance cost if it is done by non-software company.

For many years, Apache was the Boost of Java programmers.

Meaning, where all cool libraries were being developed.
