For many, the name Apache is synonymous with the most successful open source project of all time – the Apache HTTP Web Server. The Apache Web Server has dominated the web server landscape for the majority of the Internet Era, even as rivals (open source and otherwise) have attempted to make in-roads.
While the Web Server is primary to Apache, it’s important to remember that it’s only one project out of MANY. The Apache Software Foundation today issued a momentum release highlighted just how many projects it has now and how large an impact it now has on a wide range of technologies.
