Apache HertzBeat and Teaclave Graduate to Top-Level Projects
The Apache Software Foundation promoted Apache HertzBeat, an agentless observability platform, and Apache Teaclave, a secure computing system using TEEs, to top-level project status.
The Apache Software Foundation announced on January 7, 2026, that Apache HertzBeat and Apache Teaclave have graduated from the Apache Incubator to become Top-Level Projects (TLPs). The promotions recognize both projects' maturity, community growth, and adherence to the Apache Way of collaborative open source development.
Apache HertzBeat: Agentless Observability
Apache HertzBeat is a real-time observability system that unifies monitoring, alerting, and notification capabilities into a single platform. The project distinguishes itself through an agentless architecture, using standard protocols including HTTP, JMX, SSH, SNMP, and JDBC to collect metrics from web services, databases, operating systems, middleware, and cloud-native infrastructure. HertzBeat entered the Apache Incubator on April 5, 2024, and grew to include 271 contributors before graduation.
Apache Teaclave: Confidential Computing Platform
Apache Teaclave is a universal secure computing platform designed to make computation on privacy-sensitive data safe and accessible through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). The project spent approximately six years in incubation, having entered the Apache Incubator on August 20, 2019. Zhaofeng Chen, Apache Teaclave PMC Chair, highlighted the community's focus on memory-safe SDKs and confidential computing advancement as key factors in reaching the milestone.
What Top-Level Status Means
Graduation to TLP status indicates that a project has demonstrated the ability to govern itself and sustain a healthy, diverse contributor community following Apache governance principles. Both projects now operate independently under their own Project Management Committees, reporting directly to the Apache Software Foundation board.
