Mission & Community
Giving Back
Architecture should be shared, not gatekept. Apex is open source because I believe in giving back to the community as much as I possibly can.
Even though it is not much, I am contributing in the way that I can. The goal is to provide these forensic monitoring tools to anyone who needs to solve complex infrastructure puzzles.
