Exciting milestone for OCV company @locustio! Founder and CTO @cyberw reflects on Locust's 13-year journey and how partnering with OCV enabled him to shift from only having time for bug fixes to building Locust Cloud. Looking forward to seeing what's in store for 2025.
Locust is celebrating 13 years, 60 million downloads and over 25k stars on github. I caught up with @jonatanheyman to talk a little bit about how Locust came to be, and its evolution as an #OpenSource project.
