Apache Felix

Apache Felix is an open-source platform that enables modular application development using the OSGi (Open Service Gateway initiative) framework. Think of it as a dynamic container where software components, called bundles, can be installed, updated, and removed independently without disrupting the entire system. This flexibility allows developers to create adaptable, maintainable applications, particularly useful in complex or evolving environments like IoT, embedded systems, or enterprise software. Essentially, Apache Felix manages the lifecycle and interactions of these modules, making software more manageable and scalable.
