+title: "Apache Foryβ’ Graduates to Top-Level Apache Project"
+date: 2025-07-18
+slug: apache-fory-graduated
+tags: [announcement, serialization, asf]
+authors: [chaokunyang]
+---
+
+**Hello, everyone! I'm pleased to announce that [Apache
Foryβ’](https://fory.apache.org/) has graduated from the [Apache
Incubator](https://incubator.apache.org/) to become a Top-Level Project (TLP)
of [the Apache Software Foundation](https://apache.org/), signifying its
technical maturity and sustainable open-source governance under the Apache
Way.**
+
+## What is Apache Fory?
+
+**Apache Fory** is a blazingly-fast multi-language serialization framework
that revolutionizes data exchange between systems and languages. By leveraging
**JIT compilation** and **zero-copy techniques**, Fory delivers up to **170x
faster performance** compared to other serialization frameworkds while being
extremely easy to use.
+
+### Key Features:
+
+- π **Cross-language serialization**: Java, Python, C++, Go, JavaScript, Rust,
Scala, Kotlin
+- β‘οΈ **Zero-copy optimization**: Minimizes memory overhead for large datasets
+- π **Schema evolution**: Forward/backward compatibility for evolving data
structures
+- π **Security-first**: Class registration prevents deserialization
vulnerabilities
+- π¦ **Multiple protocols**: Object graph, Row format, and Java-compatible modes
+
+### Quick Start
+
+Java serialization example:
+
+```java
+Fory fory = Fory.builder().build();
+fory.register(DataModel.class);
+
+DataModel obj = new DataModel(/*...*/);
+byte[] bytes = fory.serialize(obj);
+DataModel restored = (DataModel) fory.deserialize(bytes);
+```
+
+Python serialization example
+
+```python
+from dataclasses import dataclass
+import pyfory
+
+class Foo:
+ name: str:
+ age: int
+pyfory.register(Foo)
+bytes = pyfory.serialize(Foo("Shawn", 30)) # Ultra-fast encoding
+restored = pyfory.deserialize(bytes) # Instant decoding
+```
+
+## The Incubation Journey
+
+Since entering the Apache Incubator in December 2023, Fory has achieved
significant milestones.
+
+### Community Growth
+
+- π₯ 90+ contributors
+- π§ 6 new committers added, with 1 promoted to PPMC
+- π€ Diverse adoption across fintech, e-commerce, and cloud
+
+### Technical Progress
+
+- π 14 ASF-compliant releases (0.5.0 to 0.11.2)
+- π 4 release managers ensuring sustainable operations
+- β’ Trademark resolution: Successful rename from Fury β Fory
+- β
Maturity validation: Full compliance with ASF graduation requirements
+
+### Apache Way Adoption
+
+- π¬ 100% public discussions on dev@ mailing lists
+- π³οΈ Consensus-driven decisions through formal voting
+- π Complete infrastructure migration to Fory namespace
+
+## Why Graduation Matters
+
+Graduation signifies that Fory has demonstrated:
+
+- Sustainable governance with diverse PMC leadership
+- Enterprise-ready stability through rigorous releases
+- Community independence with no vendor dominance
+- ASF policy compliance including security and licensing
+
+## What's Next
+
+As a Top-Level Project, Fory's roadmap includes:
+
+- Enhanced Capabilities
+ - Improved schema evolution for cross-language compatibility
+ - Producation ready support for Rust/C++ serialization
+ - Optimize Pyfory Performance continuously and provide drop-in replacement
support for pickle
+- Ecosystem Integration
+ - GRPC Integration
+ - Protobuf Migration Tool
+- Community Growth
+ - Comprehensive user documentation
+ - Structured mentorship program for new contributors
+ - Production case studies with early adopters
+
+## Get Involved
+
