WILMINGTON, DE — Apache Software Foundation announced the release of Apache Geode 2.0, marking one of the most sweeping modernizations in the distributed data platform’s history as the project retools itself for today’s enterprise Java landscape.
The new release delivers broad upgrades across the Java runtime, build system, security model, and core integrations, positioning Apache Geode for long-term support and continued use in high-performance, real-time systems. Apache Geode is widely used by enterprises that require low-latency, fault-tolerant access to data across clustered and geographically distributed environments.
Geode 2.0 upgrades the platform to Java 17, transitions enterprise APIs to Jakarta EE 10, and moves the build system to Gradle 7, changes aimed at restoring ongoing security support and ensuring compatibility with modern application servers and frameworks.
“This release is more than an upgrade—it is a full-scale transformation of Apache Geode,” said Jinwoo Hwang, lead developer, project lead, and release manager for Apache Geode. He said the update aligns the platform with current enterprise Java standards while positioning it for long-term sustainability.
The release includes major framework upgrades such as Spring Framework 6, Spring Security 6, and Spring Shell 3, along with updated integrations including Apache HttpComponents 5, Apache Lucene 9, Eclipse Jetty 12, and Apache Tomcat 10 and newer. The platform now supports modern servlet containers, updated HTTP and security standards, and a fully modernized command-line and management experience.
Security was a central focus of the overhaul. The foundation said Geode 2.0 addresses numerous critical, high-, and medium-severity vulnerabilities, significantly strengthening the platform’s security posture for enterprise deployments.
Apache Geode 2.0 represents a strategic reset for the project, bringing its architecture and tooling in line with the modern Java ecosystem while preserving its role as a backbone for real-time, data-intensive applications.
