I wonder if there are any good examples of open source projects in infrastructure that have a similar amount of activity? When I am talking about "infrastructure" here, I'm thinking of things like: pub-sub, event streaming, distributed coordination, and/or data distribution systems.
I've started to get the feeling that open source infrastructure is relatively static now given all of the work that went into it during the last two decades, so there isn't much going on outside of the largest companies that need to scale existing solutions.
