In this episode, our guest is Nicola Iarocci discuss his open-source RESTful framework named EVE. You will learn about the history of EVE, how you get started, and some of the more notable deployment and users of the framework. Nicola and Michael talk about the careful balance of leading a successful open-source project in EVE and keeping the day job going. You'll also learn why Nicola chose MongoDB as the default backend for EVE. We also discuss how Nicola got into Python and compare and contrast the open- source world of the Python community with other ecosystems such as the C# / .NET ecosystem. **Check out Nicola's course on[Eve REST Framework](https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_eve/eve-building- restful-mongodb-backed-apis-course)** [  training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_eve/eve-building-restful-mongodb- backed-apis-course ](https://training.talkpython.fm/courses/explore_eve/eve-building-restful- mongodb-backed-apis-course)
