Apache Iggy™, a message streaming platform written in Rust, graduates to an Apache Top-Level Project (TLP)
Apache Iggy™ has officially graduated from the Apache Incubator and is now an Apache Software Foundation Top-Level Project (TLP)
It’s been quite a journey, from a small Rust message-streaming experiment in 2023 to an independent Apache project with a growing community. Read the full post:

Huge thanks to everyone who has contributed, tested, reviewed, reported issues, or participated in the community along the way. ❤️
Would love to hear feedback from the Rust / Distributed Systems / Real-time Data communities on where we should take Iggy next.
Apache Iggy is a hyper-efficient, persistent message streaming platform written in Rust, built for predictable ultra-low latency and a minimal infrastructure footprint. Designed from the ground up around a thread-per-core, shared-nothing architecture and modern Linux io_uring, Iggy eliminates userspace locks on the hot path, GC pauses, and unnecessary thread contention. Unlike traditional streaming platforms with limited protocol support, Iggy natively supports TCP, QUIC, HTTP, and WebSockets. Iggy implements Viewstamped Replication Revisited (VSR)
