Sometimes, INFRA jira tickets taking more time. Is there a way to expedite
the process there?
### How has the community developed since the last report?

2. Github stars reached 2.7K
3. Crates downloads reached 141K+
4. Presented at Craft-IT Conference (https://craft-it.pl/#session-216)
5. Scheduled to present at ApacheCon in September
### How has the project developed since the last report?
The Iggy project has made significant progress in multiple areas during the
reporting period:
* *Repository Restructure*: Transitioned the codebase to a monorepo
structure to better support modular development across server, client SDKs,
connectors, and tooling.
* *Connectors Runtime*: Implemented the initial version of the Iggy
Connectors Runtime, enabling dynamic loading of source/sink plugins and
supporting custom data transformations.
* *SDK Migration*: Migrated SDKs for multiple languages including C#, Java,
Go, Node.js, Python, and C++ to align with the monorepo architecture and
latest server capabilities.
* *Web Dashboard*: Migrated the Iggy Web UI dashboard to the new repository
structure.
* *Benchmarking Platform*: Migrated the benchmarking platform and began
preparations to host it under
[benchmarks.iggy.apache.org|http://benchmarks.iggy.apache.org].
* *CI Improvements*: Enhanced the CI/CD pipelines to handle multiple
languages and projects independently within the monorepo.
* *Zero-Copy Support*: Added zero-copy support in the server and integrated
recent server changes across all existing SDKs.
* *Rust SDK Refactor*: Refactored the Rust SDK into smaller, reusable
packages shared between server and client implementations; also updated the
Rust edition and dependencies.
* *Runtime Refactor (Experimental)*: Published an experimental branch
featuring a new runtime architecture based on _io_uring_, thread-per-core
model, and shared-nothing design.
* *BDD Test Coverage*: Introduced Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)
scenarios using Cucumber for validating SDK functionality across multiple
languages.
* *Benchmarking Enhancements*: Extended the benchmarking CLI with a
high-level SDK abstraction, added TLS support, and improved result sharing
via unique URLs.
* *Website Redesign*: Completed a major website redesign, updated brand
assets, and aligned naming conventions with Apache guidelines.
* *Release Planning*: Initiated discussions and scoping for the upcoming
v0.5.0 release (https://github.com/apache/iggy/discussions/1931)
