Best open source technologies for backend

What are some best open source technologies to learn today. I have 2 YOE and was wondering what technology stack would be best from career growth and job switch perspective.

I thought they don't care about skills other than interviewing these days. Why do you want to learn technologies? Don't you want to grow? /s

The way I understood your statement is that learning technologies is not growing. Is it so?

That was sarcasm. Nevermind.

Try to contribute and learn about open source Kafka and Cassandra. They are going to stay

Scylla will replace Cassandra.

Kafka, gRPC, and ElasticSearch are good bets

Google mesa is better than elasticsearch

What do you do as engineer? Align with your career interest. Eg if you don’t work in infra you probably wouldn’t have the interest in Ansible.

I am a backend engineer for infrastructure team. I know what ansible is but have not used it as part of my work.

Any recommended resources for learning from first pringiples?

I really like Linux academy for cloud stuff. They also have k8s courses but I haven’t taken them. I’d guess they’re decent. Sign up for the free trial and give it a spin. You also need to learn docker first. Linux academy should also have courses for that.

Really? I didn’t know spring is so popular.
