The distributed service framework Dubbo has been updated wildly! Alibaba open source to do something big?

Recently, a big event happened in the open source community. Dubbo, the most widely used open source service framework for JAVA developers in the country, restarted maintenance in a low-key manner, and released 3 maintenance versions in 3 consecutive months. These three maintenance versions not only solve a series of problems and needs that the community cares about, but also greatly improve the activity of the entire community.

Dubbo is a distributed service governance framework open sourced by Alibaba in 2012. It is now the most influential and widely used open source service framework in China. The number of forks and starts on Github has exceeded 10,000. Although the Dubbo open source community has been continuously maintained in the past few years, due to the huge user base of Dubbo, the basic maintenance cannot fully meet the strong needs of the community. With the rapid development of the internal technology of the entire Alibaba middleware, it can not only ensure the efficient operation of the system of the group and customers, but also allocate more energy to empower the technology to the whole society. Open source is an important area for Alibaba Group to empower at the technical level.

At present, the entire Alibaba Group is embracing open source with a higher attitude and a more open attitude. RocketMQ has been accepted as a top-level project by the Apache community, and global open source projects such as OpenMessaging and ApsaraCache have also been officially announced at the Yunqi Conference. It is against this background that Dubbo was listed as a key maintenance open source project.

Bloggers have been using and paying attention to DUBBO in recent years. Although the underlying architecture has been perfect, there are still some problems that are compatible or cannot be solved by themselves, so they have been using DubboX which is maintained by Dangdang (in fact, it is not much maintained). Now that Dubbo's restart function has stabilized, it's time to switch over.

So here comes the question:
How many guys haven't touched Dubbo yet?
How many guys are big fans of Dubbo?
So can Dubbo build a more complete distributed architecture system to catch up with spring cloud?
Ali Group attaches so much importance to Dubbo, is the spring of domestic developers coming?
