Hello, everyone! I'm pleased to announce that Apache Fory™ has graduated from the Apache Incubator to become a Top-Level Project (TLP) of the Apache Software Foundation, signifying its technical maturity and sustainable open-source governance under the Apache Way.

What is Apache Fory?​

Apache Fory is a blazingly-fast multi-language serialization framework that revolutionizes data exchange between systems and languages. By leveraging JIT compilation and zero-copy techniques, Fory delivers up to 170x faster performance compared to other serialization frameworkds while being extremely easy to use.

Key Features:​

  • 🌐 Cross-language serialization: Java, Python, C++, Go, JavaScript, Rust, Scala, Kotlin
  • ⚡️ Zero-copy optimization: Minimizes memory overhead for large datasets
  • 🔄 Schema evolution: Forward/backward compatibility for evolving data structures
  • 🔒 Security-first: Class registration prevents deserialization vulnerabilities
  • 📦 Multiple protocols: Object graph, Row format, and Java-compatible modes

Quick Start​

Java serialization example:

Fory fory = Fory.builder().build();
fory.register(DataModel.class);

DataModel obj = new DataModel(/*...*/);
byte[] bytes = fory.serialize(obj);
DataModel restored = (DataModel) fory.deserialize(bytes);

Python serialization example

from dataclasses import dataclass
import pyfory

class Foo:
    name: str:
    age: int
pyfory.register(Foo)
bytes = pyfory.serialize(Foo("Shawn", 30))  # Ultra-fast encoding
restored = pyfory.deserialize(bytes)  # Instant decoding

The Incubation Journey​

Since entering the Apache Incubator in December 2023, Fory has achieved significant milestones.

Community Growth​

  • 👥 90+ contributors
  • 🔧 6 new committers added, with 1 promoted to PPMC
  • 🤝 Diverse adoption across fintech, e-commerce, and cloud

Technical Progress​

  • 🚀 14 ASF-compliant releases (0.5.0 to 0.11.2)
  • 🔄 4 release managers ensuring sustainable operations
  • ™ Trademark resolution: Successful rename from Fury → Fory
  • ✅ Maturity validation: Full compliance with ASF graduation requirements

Apache Way Adoption​

  • 📬 100% public discussions on dev@ mailing lists
  • 🗳️ Consensus-driven decisions through formal voting
  • 🌐 Complete infrastructure migration to Fory namespace

Why Graduation Matters​

Graduation signifies that Fory has demonstrated:

  • Sustainable governance with diverse PMC leadership
  • Enterprise-ready stability through rigorous releases
  • Community independence with no vendor dominance
  • ASF policy compliance including security and licensing

What's Next​

As a Top-Level Project, Fory's roadmap includes:

  • Enhanced Capabilities
    • Improved schema evolution for cross-language compatibility
    • Producation ready support for Rust/C++ serialization
    • Optimize Pyfory Performance continuously and provide drop-in replacement support for pickle
  • Ecosystem Integration
    • GRPC Integration
    • Protobuf Migration Tool
  • Community Growth
    • Comprehensive user documentation
    • Structured mentorship program for new contributors
    • Production case studies with early adopters
