Cloud Native & Coffee presents biweekly conversations with cloud native infrastructure and application experts from across the community and around the world.

In this episode, we speak with Christofer Dutz, founder and maintainer of Apache PLC4X - who recently announced that because corporations weren't paying for support, he would be ceasing to provide community support free of charge - about the state of the open source ecosystem and what he feels needs to be done to continue its prosperity.
