The EU‘s fight over the ‚combustion engine ban‘ was a waste of the public‘s attention. Performative politics. By 2035, collectors with special licenses may still want one, if they can pay for the fuel and find some last gas station. History doesn‘t proceed in a linear fashion.

We're making great progress at #ApacheHop in the last couple of weeks, with new community members making lots of high quality contributions, and there's quite a bit more coming up in open and to-be-created PRs for the coming weeks. Fun!

The new #Flyway plugin in #Putki automates schema changes — no installs, no scripts. Plus: out-of-order migrations, logging & monitoring built in. More Putki plugins coming soon for #SAP, #HubSpot & #Shopify! Check out our @know.bi blog: www.know.bi/blog/our-blo... @hop.apache.org #flyway

and maybe most importantly, an inflow of new contributors! #apachehop
