TubeMQ

TubeMQ is a distributed messaging queue (MQ) system.

TubeMQ has been incubating since 2019-11-03.

Three most important unfinished issues to address before graduating:

1.Keep growing the community, attract more contributors and committers 2.Release Apache standard releases regularly 3.Continuously improve system performance and increase system features

Are there any issues that the IPMC or ASF Board need to be aware of?

We hope more IPMCs will pay attention to our project and give more suggestions.

How has the community developed since the last report?

Since the last report, the TubeMQ community has attracted many real users who have given feedback to the project many bugs, and enthusiastic contributors have made multilingual SDK contributions to the project and successfully applied them in the actual environment; the community periodically releases iteratively to provide stable and easy-to-use new features.

How has the project developed since the last report?

This stage is mainly for the development and implementation of multi-language SDKs: the C/C++ SDK delivery has been completed; at the same time, SDKs for Go, Python, Rust and other languages are under development. In addition to the new features of the multi-language SDKs, the project initiated the development of the tubemq-manager module for cross-cluster control to make the project more usable; for details, please refer to our project issues: https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/TUBEMQ/issues.

Yes, all good here.
