Apache Cloudberry (Incubating)

---

Introduction

Apache Cloudberry (Incubating), created by the original developers of Greenplum Database, is one advanced and mature open-source Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) database, which evolves from the open-source version of the Pivotal Greenplum Database®️ but features a newer PostgreSQL kernel and more advanced enterprise capabilities. It can serve as a data warehouse and can also be used for large-scale analytics and AI/ML workloads.

ASF Incubator disclaimer

Apache Cloudberry is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required for all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
