THE APACHE® SOFTWARE FOUNDATION (ASF)
Open. Innovation. Community.
Are you powered by Apache? The answer is most likely “yes”.
Apache projects serve as the backbone for some of the world's most visible and widely used
applications in Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, Big Data, Build Management, Cloud
Computing, Content Management, DevOps, IoT and Edge Computing, Mobile, Servers, and Web
Frameworks, among other categories.
Dependency on Apache projects for critical applications cannot go underestimated, from the 2.6-
terabyte, Pulitzer Prize-winning Panama Papers investigation to system-wide information
management at the US Federal Aviation Administration to capturing 500B events each day at
Netflix to enabling real-time financial services at Lloyds Banking Group to simplifying mobile
application development across Android/Blackberry/iOS/Ubuntu/Windows/Windows Phone/OS X
platforms to processing requests at Facebook’s 300-petabyte data warehouse to powering clouds
for Apple, Disney, Huawei, Tata, and countless others.
Every day, more programmers, solutions architects, individual users, educators, researchers,
corporations, government agencies, and enthusiasts around the world are choosing Apache
software for development tools, libraries, frameworks, visualizers, end-user productivity solutions,
and more.
Advancing the ASF’s mission of providing software for the public good, momentum over the past
fiscal year includes:
35M page views per week across apache.org;
Web requests received from every Internet-connected country on the planet;
Apache OpenOffice exceeded 200M downloads;
Apache Groovy downloaded 12M times during the first 4 months of 2017;
Nearly 300 new code contributors and 300-400 new people filing issues each month
Bringing value has been a driving force behind Apache’s diverse projects. The ASF's 100M functional
lines of code (out of 150M+ total) have been developed over 65,000 person years, and are valued at
US$7B. Apache OpenOffice brings a value of over $25M to individual and organizational users each
day. One of the most popular Open Source licenses is the commercially-friendly Apache License,
under which millions of software solutions have been distributed to allow for their redistribution
and usage.
