## Description: The mission of Apache SkyWalking is the creation and maintenance of software related to application performance management and monitoring (APM) ## Project Status: Current project status: Ongoing Issues for the board: No ## Membership Data: Apache SkyWalking was founded 2019-04-17 (5 years ago) There are currently 62 committers and 34 PMC members in this project. The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 8:5. Community changes, past quarter: - No new PMC members. Last addition was Ye Cao on 2023-08-28. - No new committers. Last addition was Claire Chen on 2024-05-27. No new committer is selected. The number of contributors(GitHub based) has been over 900(908). We saw a lot of new contributors involved into the project contributions because of GSOC and OSPP motivations. ## Project Activity: - banyandb-java-client-0.7.0: 2024-09-28 - go-0.5.0: 2024-08-28 - nginx-lua-1.0.0: 2024-08-22 - java-9.3.0: 2024-07-27 - python-1.1.0: 2024-07-22 - client-js-0.12.0: 2024-07-14 nginx-lua-1.1.0 release is being voted. SkyWalking 10.1 and BanyanDB 0.7 are ready to release. Our release managers plan to do that in next week. We are confident to say, the BSL/AGPLv3 risks of Elasticsearch are resolved. Users don't have to rely on OpenSearch(Elasticsearch fork) anymore. kapa.ai has been removed from the website due to the board request. ## Community Health: The community is healthy. We have active code contributions, discussions on GitHub and ASF Slacks. Also, a lot of relative blogs are posted on the web. More commercial products are built around our ecosystem and support SkyWalking APIs and data models.

Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for
microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also
known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to
instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the
target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming
module.
SkyWalking has been incubating since 2017-12-08.
Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation:
1. IP clearance. [RESOLVED]
3. First ASF release. (SkyWalking 5.0) [RESOLVED]
3. Further ASF culture and processes. [RESOLVED]
4. 5.x releases are stable for product, and have 5 open end users, at
least. [RESOLVED]
5. Support multiple languages agents/SDKs. [RESOLVED]
6. Integration with other pupolar OSS systems. Zipkin data format
supported. [RESOLVED]
7. Clear Brand issues with other ecosystem projects. [RESOLVED]
Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be
aware of?
Have six Apache releases already. 5.0.0-alpha, 5.0.0-beta, 5.0.0-beta2,
5.0.0-RC2, 5.0.0-GA, 6.0.0-alpha, 6.0.0-beta, 6.0.0-GA
There are several related projects and GitHub org in SkyWalking
ecosystem, before or during project joined the ASF incubator, such as
.net, node.js and php agents, they were using skywalking-* prefix in
project name and releases, which may cause brand issue.
We have fixed these. All skywalking-* have been renamed to skyapm-*, old
releases with skywalking- removed(maybe not necessary).
Old existing GitHub orgs, including OpenSkywalking, OpenSkywalkingTest,
SkywalkingContrib, have been renamed to SkyAPM, SkyAPMTest or
removed(SkywalkingContrib).
Another brand related issue is `skywalking` in DockerHub, including some
binary releases, which have been removed and moved to ASF Infra
- https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/skywalking-base
- https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/skywalking-oap-server
- https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/skywalking-ui
All of these are only including the approved releases.
All known brand issues have been addressed and solved. Be good for the
graduation.
How has the community developed since the last report?
1. SkyWalking is working with Envoy community, trying to contribute a new
service mesh probe.
2. Lang Li, Yixiong and Jinlin Fu Cao have been voted and joined as
committer.
3. Yao Wang and Jian Tan have been voted and joined as PPMC
4. There are 92 people to contribute codes to our main repo. 18 more than
the last report.
5 Over 60 companies have confirmed they are using SkyWalking
through issue report, our powered-by page or through our ecosystem pages.
How has the project developed since the last report?
There has been over 100 commits by more than 27 contributors in the three
months.
In 6.1.0(in developing) release milestones, there are 81 issues and pull
requests solved.
SkyWalking 6.0.0-GA is suitable for production.
In 6.0.0-GA release milestones, there are 134 issues and pull requests
solved.
In 6.0.0-beta release milestones, there are 153 issues and pull requests

Started the `Graduate Apache SkyWalking (incubating) as a TLP` discussion
in IPMC. IPMC addressed a main issue before graduation, need to promote
more committers by given the number of contributors.
SkyWalking community has recognised, and voted/passed three new
committers, more committers are in discussion and voting process. The
PPMCs have learned from the graduation discussion.
How has the community developed since the last report?
1. SkyWalking is working with Istio community, in the 6.0.0-alpha
release, we support telemetry format from Istio.

through issue report or our powered-by page.
3. There are 74 people to contribute codes to our main repo. 17 more than
the last report.
4. Three new committors voted and joined. Wenbin Wang, Can Li and Jian
Tan.
5. A new UI project open source. https://github.com/TinyAllen/rocketbot.
It runs as a secondary choice and very cool UI for SkyWalking, by
following our query protocol.
6. baiyang, wangkai, liyuntao, ilucky, zhangkewei, and wangsheng added to
SkyWalking PPMC, because they are initial committers.
How has the project developed since the last report?

Comments: 'issues to address' probably doesn't need to be so
technical, the board can presume technical momentum by release
frequency and new committers. Graduation is more dependent on the
ASF community dynamics. Adding the new committers for example.

IPMC/Shepherd notes:
Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for
microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also
known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to
instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the
target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming
module.
