InfoWorld recognizes the leading open source projects for software development, cloud computing, big data, and machine learning
Remember Snort? Or Asterisk? Or Jaspersoft or Zimbra? Heck, you might still be using them. All of these open source championsโInfoWorld Best of Open Source Software Award winners 10 years agoโare still going strong. And why not? Theyโre still perfectly useful.
Ten years ago these tools were among the best answers to pressing needs in the enterprise networkโfor intrusion detection, call management, reporting, and collaboration. But looking back on them now, you canโt help but think, โWow. Software was so much simpler then.โ
But even as we grapple with the likes of microservice architecture, distributed data processing frameworks, deep neural networks, and โdapps,โ we remain steadfast in our commitment to bring youโthis year and every yearโthe best that open source has to offer. Welcome to InfoWorldโs 2018 Best of Open Source Software Awards!
In this yearโs edition, youโll find our picks for the best open source software development tools, cloud computing platforms, databases and data analytics tools, and machine learning and deep learning libraries. From Kubernetes and Docker to TensorFlow and PyTorch (49 projects in all), these are the projects that are ushering in the next stage of enterprise computing.
Follow the links below to read about our 2018 winners. And donโt forget to check back here in 10 years to see if theyโre still pulling their weight.
