Hi All, This is a call for vote to release Apache SkyWalking (Incubating) version 5.0.0-alpha
The Apache SkyWalking community has tested, voted and approved the proposed release of Apache SkyWalking (Incubating) 5.0.0-alpha We now kindly request the Incubator PMC members review and vote on this incubator release. Skywalking is an APM (application performance monitor), especially for microservice, Cloud Native and container-based architecture systems. Also known as a distributed tracing system. It provides an automatic way to instrument applications: no need to change any of the source code of the target application; and an collector with an very high efficiency streaming module. This is the first and alpha release of version 5. We write a Release Guide[1] and vote check list[2] by following Apache release and distribution documents.
