history

Project history and usage

Apache Storm is a distributed real-time computation system for processing unbounded streams. In package-manager and CLI culture it is the `storm` command plus a cluster runtime: users install it to submit, manage, and operate streaming topologies.

Project history

The Apache Software Foundation says Storm was originally developed at BackType before Twitter acquired BackType, and that it entered the Apache Incubator in September 2013. Apache announced Storm as a Top-Level Project in September 2014, marking its graduation into ASF governance.

Adoption history

Apache's graduation announcement framed Storm as mature technology with a robust community and named contributors from Hortonworks, Twitter, Verisign, Yahoo, and others. Yahoo's quoted statement in that announcement said Storm was widely adopted there for real-time data processing, including content personalization, advertising, and mobile development.

How it is used

The Storm site describes it as doing for real-time processing what Hadoop did for batch processing, with use cases including real-time analytics, online machine learning, continuous computation, distributed RPC, and ETL. Operators use the packaged `storm` command and `conf/storm.yaml`-style configuration to run and manage the system.

Why package nerds care

Storm matters to package nerds because it represents the early wave of big-data infrastructure that became installable as normal open-source packages: a Java/Clojure distributed system, a CLI, daemon processes, YAML configuration, Maven artifacts, and ASF release discipline.

Timeline

2013: Storm enters the Apache Incubator.
2014: Apache Storm graduates to an ASF Top-Level Project.
2016: Apache Storm 1.0.0 Stable is released as a major milestone.
2019: Apache Storm 2.0.0 reimplements core functionality in Java and improves contributor accessibility.
2026: Apache Storm 2.8.8 is listed as the current site download.

Related projects

The Apache Storm site compares its role to Hadoop for batch processing and documents integrations with queueing and database technologies. Its ecosystem includes topology APIs, spouts, bolts, Trident, Kafka integration, and Maven artifacts.
