I'm confused -- does this mean that Workiva themselves are not using Eva? Or are they still using it, but not officially developing it any more? If they were really invested in it, why would they only allow employees to work on it in their 10% time?

It was open sourced because it was a cool piece of technology and it would have been a shame to keep it back, but it is no longer in use at Workiva.

Source: I work there, although I have literally nothing to do with this project.

Interesting! Are you guys switching to another EAV store like Datomic or something else?
