Matt, all,
Strongly agree.
My understanding is that moving from ASF incubator to TLP is not (at all) a
statement about the technology but a statement about the community, its
diversity (in terms of stakeholders) and ability to carry forward the project.
I agree with everyone on this thread that OpenWhisk has proven to have achieved
that mile stone
(but it does not hurt the cause to say that the technology runs in production
and is solid....)
Cheers
Michael

Thanks Dave for raising graduation as a topic.
To be clear... +1 (with stars) from me on moving to graduate...
It is my belief that this project has reached a maturity level, with
credits to its devoted community, over the last 2 plus years to graduate. It
has been no small task to bring under Apache compliance the numerous repos.
this project manages and to deal with the ever-changing landscape of Serverless
and remain relevant as new technologies and projects continue to enter this
space.
IMO, no other Serverless project offers a complete open source FaaS
platform solution that supports such a wide array of deployment choices,
runtimes, tooling (and I could go on and on) while striving to enable choice
for via documented plug-in points for common platform integrations such as
logging, metrics and test tooling, but also, for very complex topics such as
load balancing, scheduling and container pooling.
This project is has matured to a point, where it should be noted, that we
are aware it is used in several public production offerings as a Serverless
platform directly or as the backing for FaaS integrations (such as for API
management or web hosting).
If you cannot tell, I am all for moving towards graduation and (prompted
seeing this thread appear yesterday) have cleared my day to complete filling
out the maturity model matrix on our CWIKI (see
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OPENWHISK/Project+Maturity+Model)
to the best of my abilities and will be asking for comment/review/edits on a
separate thread once I complete my draft pass.
In truth, over the course of the last 2 years, I have have truly witnessed
the community itself become a welcoming family that cares first and foremost
about the code and improving and enabling it for its user base while
establishing friendships that transcend other affiliations.
Cheers,
Matt
