There's no such thing as a small software team anymore

Uber infamously runs thousands of microservices. They ended up with so many services because hundreds of engineers wanted to deploy on their own schedule, with clear ownership of their code, instead of waiting in one giant merge queue. For decades a small team with 5 or 10 people writing code at the same time didn’t even need to consider doing this. On a busy day a small team might generate 50 commits/20 pushes/10 PRs. A small team today, running 20-100 agents in parallel, might generate 500 commits/200 pushes/100 PRs.,Uber infamously runs thousands of microservices.

Mojo is now open source

The Apache 2.0 license is the gold standard for programming languages and compilers, because it provides great flexibility to be used in all sorts of applications. The LLVM extensions to the license further expand those freedoms for building and distributing binaries compiled from Mojo. We want you to be able to adopt and use Mojo in as many applications as you can imagine.
