Project History

Spark started as a research project at the UC Berkeley AMPLab in 2009, and was open sourced in early 2010. Many of the ideas behind the system are presented in various research papers.

After being released, Spark grew a developer community on GitHub and moved to Apache in 2013. A wide range of contributors now develop the project (over 400 developers from 100 companies).
