WILMINGTON, DE — The Apache Software Foundation said it has promoted Apache HertzBeat, Apache Teaclave, and Apache Training to Top-Level Project (TLP) status, marking a significant milestone for the open source organization and signaling growing adoption and maturity across its technology and education initiatives.
Top-Level Project designation is one of the highest distinctions within the Apache ecosystem, indicating that a project has demonstrated technical stability, strong community governance, and long-term sustainability under the foundation’s merit-based model.
Apache HertzBeat is an AI-powered, open source observability platform that combines monitoring, alerting, and notifications into a single, unified system. Designed to operate without agents, HertzBeat collects metrics using standard protocols such as HTTP, JMX, SSH, SNMP, and JDBC, allowing it to monitor a wide range of environments including web services, databases, operating systems, middleware, big data platforms, and cloud-native infrastructure.
Apache Teaclave focuses on secure computing for privacy-sensitive data, leveraging Trusted Execution Environments such as Intel SGX and Arm TrustZone. Built primarily with memory-safe languages including Rust, the project provides open source software development kits and modular components that support secure storage, remote attestation, and key management. The platform is intended to simplify the development of trusted applications across cloud, edge, and embedded systems.
Zhaofeng Chen, chair of the Apache Teaclave Project Management Committee, said the promotion reflects years of community-driven work to advance confidential computing. He said the project’s contributors remain focused on expanding memory-safe tooling and strengthening the broader secure computing ecosystem.
Apache Training, the third project to graduate, is an initiative aimed at creating and maintaining high-quality, openly licensed training materials for Apache projects. The effort is designed to reduce duplication across the ecosystem by providing shared slides, workshops, labs, and tutorials that are approved under the Apache License 2.0 and maintained collaboratively by the community.
Justin Mclean, vice president of Apache Training, said the project’s graduation highlights the increasing importance of community-owned education resources. He said the initiative provides a centralized home for learning materials that support both new users and experienced contributors across the Apache landscape.
The Apache Software Foundation oversees hundreds of open source projects used globally across enterprise, government, and academic environments. The elevation of HertzBeat, Teaclave, and Training underscores the foundation’s continued expansion into observability, confidential computing, and developer education.
