Is this repo project still maintained? #1448

Closed nitrocode closed 1 year ago

nitrocode commented 1 year ago

Hi all. Thank you for maintaining this project.

I looked through other issues and didn't see one like this. I see the last release was in Aug 2021. Is this project still maintained?

jehiah commented 1 year ago

Yes!

You are also right that it is time for a release. Thanks for the reminder.

Generally speaking this project is very stable and battle tested in feature set and operational profile - so we don't often have particular new features to drive releases. I will also say I still personally use NSQ heavily every day at Bitly.

Hi @jehiah thank you for getting back to me.

It would be nice to enable dependabot or renovatebot to automate some of the dependencies. I have a client that uses nsq heavily now and has considered moving to kafka solely for the security benefits. Adding a bot to manage dependencies and more frequent releases albeit patch releases, would go along way to keeping nsq alive. Thank you!

FWIW companies might start migrating away from NSQ because of perceived lack of maintenance. Not having a release in 2+ years may mean "stable" to some, but looks like neglect to others (particularly to security scanners that scan 1.2.1 and see lots of outdated packages, to say the least). Is NSQ still serious about this code?
