Recently, the Apache Software Foundation announced that the streaming storage project Apache Fluss, donated and open-sourced by Alibaba Cloud, has officially graduated from the incubator and become a top-level project of Apache globally. The related proposal received unanimous approval in the committee vote. Fluss builds a real-time streaming storage layer natively on top of data lakes, providing context with second-level updates to support real-time decision-making and actions for enterprise-level agents. It is the strongest foundation for the Agentic lake and has already been scaled and implemented in large tech companies such as Alibaba, Xiaohongshu, iQIYI, and Ant Group.
