OpenTelemetry Graduation
This is the formal proposal for OpenTelemetry to move from Incubation to Graduation.
What is OpenTelemetry?
OpenTelemetry is one of the largest CNCF projects, aside from Kubernetes, and has maintained an impressive velocity over the past few years. Over the past five years, we have successfully fulfilled our original mission of defining a vendor-agnostic API, SDK, wire format, and tooling needed to enable observability in cloud-native systems.
Why graduate?
In 2023, we stabilized our specification for core signals and are rapidly moving towards stability in core repositories. In addition, we continue to work to add new signals, improve our SDKs, and integrate OpenTelemetry into other CNCF and open source projects. OpenTelemetry is in use at hundreds of organizations world-wide, with millions of downloads of our software a month. Graduation formalizes the readiness of our project as a foundational component of open source observability. Thank you for your consideration!
A huge thanks to our community!
We would not have achieved this milestone without the thousands of dedicated contributors and users who help make this project better every day. Take a bow -- this PR's for you!
(This was prepared under the old template, we just didn't get a chance to vote in governance until this week. I see that the form has changed... let me know if we need to re-do this)
Please ping me when OpenTelemetry moves to graduation so I'll update DevStats immediately then.
Good to see the project is moving toward graduation. Showing my support here.
Hi, what is the exact graduation date? I wanted to update DevStats.
@lukaszgryglicki process has just started :) watch for [VOTE] and then [RESULT] on cncf-toc mailing list.
Question - will we need to re-do the application (per https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/process/README.md#applications-to-move-levels-are-done-by-submitting-an-incubation-or-graduation-application-issue-on-the-toc-repo)? If so, I can go ahead and re-do it...
I've updated the application with the published results of our security audit.
