For those of us working in the IT industry, we should be well aware of the many benefits that open source software provides.

Today we released FerretDB 0.5.1, a minor release which adds some new features, but mostly improvements and fixes.

FerretDB v0.5.0, released today, includes a new exciting feature – the ability to use it as a regular Go library package.

We are happy to announce that FerretDB's newest 0.4.0 release is now available on GitHub, with some exciting new features and fixes in it.

The annual StackOverflow Developer Surveyis a great way to check the current adoption of different technologies out there. This is a survey which is filled out by aspiring and professional engineers, voting on the technologies they use, or those they are most interested in. Let's take a look at how FerretDB's plans align with the latest trends!

Like many other open-source projects, FerretDB requires all contributors to sign our Contributor License Agreement (CLA) to protect them from liability. (Please note that our CLA does include a transfer of copyright and we don't use it to relicense FerretDB; but that all is a topic of the future blog post.)

It is not easy to contain our excitement about all the good things happening at FerretDB.
