+# Apache Wayang Graduates to a Top-Level Project!
+
+The Apache Wayang community is proud to announce a major milestone in our
journey: **Apache Wayang has officially graduated from the Apache Incubator and
is now a Top-Level Project (TLP) at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)**!
+
+This graduation rewards the community-driven effort, research, innovation, and
collaboration of many years. It reflects our shared commitment to open-source
development and the growing importance of cross-platform data processing in the
broader data ecosystem nowadays.
+Graduating as an Apache Top-Level Project is an important recognition of the
project’s maturity and ensures that Apache Wayang is backed by the full support
and oversight of the ASF, guaranteeing openness, meritocracy, and a sustainable
development model for years to come.
+
+---
+
+## What Is Apache Wayang?
+
+Apache Wayang (formerly known as Rheem) is a **cross-platform data processing
system** designed to give developers and organizations a unified way to execute
pipelines over multiple data processing engines—such as Apache Spark, Apache
Flink, PostgreSQL, and more.
+
+Instead of forcing users to choose a single execution backend, Wayang:
+
+- **Abstracts data processing engines** through a unified API
+- **Can automatically choose the best execution platform** based on workload
characteristics
+- **Optimizes performance** by distributing tasks across engines if necessary
+- **Provides a flexible plugin architecture** for integrating new platforms
and optimizers
+
+In other words, Wayang enables interoperability across the diverse data
landscape and empowers teams to focus on application logic and not
infrastructure decisions.
+
+---
+
+## Thank You to Our Community
+
+Apache Wayang wouldn’t exist without its community of developers, users,
mentors, and advocates who contributed code, documentation, feedback, and
support. A special thanks goes to our Incubator mentors, who helped guide the
project through the Apache processes and best practices.
+Your contributions made this milestone possible, and we’re just getting
started.
+

+
+## Get Involved!
+
+Whether you want to try Wayang for your next project, contribute code, write
documentation, or share your ideas, your participation is welcome. Here’s how
to get started:
+
