Open Source Web Infrastructure: Current Ecosystem and Trends

Like buildings, applications depend on infrastructure, most of which is open source software. From stalwarts like Apache HTTP Server, Tomcat, and NGINX to newer cloud-native technologies, organizations now have an array of options to choose from when it comes to infrastructure components, including web and application servers.

Open source technologies play a vital role in every organization’s infrastructure stack, yet stakeholders often don’t know how essential these components are, or who is responsible for their support and maintenance. As the ecosystem of web infrastructure evolves, it’s worth asking: Do you know what critical infrastructure software your organization is running?
