Hamilton

This was extracted (@ 2025-07-16 22:10) from a list of minutes which have been approved by the Board.

Please Note The Board typically approves the minutes of the previous meeting at the beginning of every Board meeting; therefore, the list below does not normally contain details from the minutes of the most recent Board meeting. ASF Members may have access to a private draft of these still-unapproved minutes.

WARNING: these pages may omit some original contents of the minutes.
This is due to changes in the layout of the source minutes over the years. Fixes are being worked on.

Hamilton is a lightweight in-process framework to define,
execute, and observe directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) that express
data transformations. In Hamilton one can express complex DAGs
of transformations, e.g. from dataframe transformations (using
pandas, polars, PySpark), machine learning pipelines, through to regular
software engineering API request and LLM API based workflows. Observability
hooks are built into the framework. The Hamilton UI is a self-
hostable service to captureobservability output from workflow
runs. Apache Software Foundation incubation will establish
Hamilton as a community-driven standard.

Hamilton has been incubating since 2025-04-12.
