The community's work over the past year culminated, just +over three weeks ago, with an [announcement]({{ site.baseurl }}/blog/2017/01/10/beam-graduates.html) +that Apache Beam has successfully graduated as a new Top-Level Project at the +foundation. Graduation sparked an additional interest in the project, from +corporate endorsements, news articles, interviews, to the volume of traffic to +our website and mailing lists. + +<!--more--> + +Corporate endorsements include Google, PayPal, Talend, data Artisans, and +others.
