AntPickax

AntPickax includes open source software products which are necessary for Internet services in Yahoo! JAPAN. It includes basic libraries, components and systems.

AntPickax is a series of a challenging product that made it easy to solve complicated problems. We hope AntPickax products are widely used and create next innovations!

We will keep challenging to publish new open source software as a AntPickax product(like an Ant working with pickax).

Background

Though we use and contribute a lot of open source software in Yahoo! JAPAN, we have started producing the AntPickax with the following background.

  • Basic functions that are necessary internally are not sufficient.
  • Adopting a new architecture to drastically reduce operating costs.
  • Performance (mainly speed and scalability) is insufficient.
  • License restrictions, it can not be introduced inside the company.

Among the created software, we have released software as an AntPickax product that has performance comparable to that of existing OSS and has useful functions not found in existing OSS.
