Ray is an open-source project hosted by Anyscale and developed in the open. Its governance is lightweight and consensus-based.

​
Maintainers

A group of maintainers — drawn from Anyscale and from the broader contributor community — review pull requests, set release schedules, and resolve technical disputes. Maintainership is earned through sustained, high-quality contributions.

​
Ray Enhancement Proposals (REPs)

Significant changes — new APIs, breaking changes, architectural shifts — go through a REP process:
  1. Author drafts a proposal in the enhancements/ directory of the repo.
  2. The community discusses on GitHub.
  3. Maintainers approve, request changes, or reject.
  4. Approved REPs land in the repo and are implemented.

​
Release cadence

Ray ships minor releases roughly every six weeks. Patch releases land between minors as needed for critical fixes. Each release goes through an RC period with testing on representative workloads.

​
Backwards compatibility

Public APIs follow semantic versioning. Breaking changes happen at major releases and are announced ahead of time via REP and changelog.

​
Code of conduct

The project follows a code of conduct based on the Contributor Covenant. Report concerns to the project’s CoC committee at the address listed in the repo.
