Introducing Apache Fluss, a lakehouse-native streaming storage for real-time analytics and AI, and Apache Pony Mail, a web-based mail archive browser built to scale to millions of archived messages
WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 6, 2026 — The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the global home of openuss and Apache Pony Mail have become Top-Level Projects (TLPs)
Apache Fluss is an openl-time analytics and AI. It provides a real-time data layer for lakehouse, bringing streaming data, continuously updated tables, and historical lakehouse data together through a common table abstraction. Fluss integrates with compute engines including Apache Flink and Apache Spark and with open lakehouse formats including Apache Paimon, Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi and Lance
“Apache Fluss’s graduation reflects a mature community shaped by open, collaborative governance at the ASF,” said Feng Wang, head of Open Data Platform at Alibaba Cloud. “Deployed and proven at scale in Alibaba’s core e-commerce production workloads, Fluss’s Lakestream architecture unifies streams with Lakehouse data, making the Lakehouse real-time while reducing data duplication and pipeline complexity. This led us to open source and donate Fluss to the ASF. I look forward to Fluss becoming the open data foundation for the real-time Lakehouse, advancing analytics and AI across the open data ecosystem.”
Apache Pony Mail is a web-based mail archive browser built to scale to millions of archived messages with hundreds of requests per second. It allows users to browse, search, and interact with mailing lists including creating replies to mailing list threads. Pony Mail works in both public, private and mixed-mode, allowing you to have one unified place for all your communication, both public and private.
Opens projects with services and mentorship for building resilient and durable communities throughout their lifecycle. The Apache Incubator hosts incoming projects (called podlings) that want to enter the ASF and adopt The Apache Way
