Prometheus Graduation Application

Prometheus was the second accepted project into the CNCF (joined in May 2016) and has grown significantly over time. In August 2017 we have successfully hosted a community conference (PromCon) in collaboration with the CNCF that attracted 200+ attendees from the developer and user community.

The following application links to the required information to become a graduated project.

Prometheus fulfills all the incubating and graduation criteria:

Document that it is being used successfully in production by at least three independent end users which, in the TOC’s judgement, are of adequate quality and scope.

• "Users" section of https://prometheus.io/
• In-progress PR to add an ADOPTERS.md file: https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/3833/files

Have a healthy number of committers. A committer is defined as someone with the commit bit; i.e., someone who can accept contributions to some or all of the project.

See the current list of Prometheus team members, who are also committers.

Demonstrate a substantial ongoing flow of commits and merged contributions.

• https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/graphs/contributors

In all official Prometheus repositories, we have had 850+ unique contributors with a total of 12k+ commits so far.

Have committers from at least two organizations.

We have 17 committers from ~10 organizations:

• Ben Kochie (GitLab)

https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/486

Adopt the CNCF Code of Conduct.

https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md

Explicitly define a project governance and committer process. This preferably is laid out in a GOVERNANCE.md file and references an OWNERS.md file showing the current and emeritus committers.

• https://prometheus.io/governance/

Have a public list of project adopters for at least the primary repo (e.g., ADOPTERS.md or logos on the project website).

See the bottom of https://prometheus.io/. We aim to additionally curate a more extensive list in an ADOPTERS.md file in the future. See https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/pull/3833/files.
