+description: "Why teams trust Apache Camel in production: a predictable, near-monthly release cadence with long term support, security vulnerabilities fixed proactively and disclosed openly through the Apache process, and a vendor-neutral community. In production since 2007 at UPS, CERN, SAP, banks, governments, and healthcare providers worldwide."

+
+Apache Camel has been running in production since 2007. Some of the largest organizations in
+the world — banks, airlines, hospitals, government agencies, and Fortune 10 companies — route
+business-critical traffic through Camel every second of every day.
+
+That kind of reliance has to be earned, and it cannot be claimed with a logo or a badge. We earn
+it the same way on every release: in the open, on a predictable schedule, with security handled
+transparently, and as a community that answers to no single vendor. Everything below is a matter
+of public record — you do not have to take our word for any of it. That is what *trust by
+default* means for Apache Camel.

+
+## A predictable release cadence
+
+Camel ships a new release almost every month, so fixes and improvements reach you in weeks rather
+than years. Designated **Long Term Support (LTS)** releases receive bug and security fixes for up
+to a year, giving you a stable target you can plan around. We treat backward compatibility as a
+feature: the rare breaking change is always documented in the
+[Migration and Upgrade](/manual/migration-and-upgrade.html) guide, so an upgrade never holds a
+surprise.

+
+## Security handled in the open
+
+Every reported vulnerability is handled through the Apache Software Foundation's coordinated
+disclosure process and published as a full, PGP-signed advisory — an unbroken public track record
+that goes back to 2013. A canonical [Security Model](/manual/security-model.html) documents
+exactly where the trust boundaries sit and what is in or out of scope, fixes are delivered across
+every supported LTS line, and we proactively review and harden the framework rather than wait for
+someone else to find the problem.

+## A vendor-neutral community
+
+Camel is an Apache Software Foundation project, governed by a meritocratic community under the
+ASF's open and vendor-neutral model. No single company controls its roadmap, and no one can take
+it away from you. Development happens entirely in the open on public mailing lists and chat, and
+anyone is free to read the code, propose a change, review a release, or verify a fix for
+themselves.

+
+## Proven in production
+
+More than 100 known organizations run Apache Camel in production — UPS processing tens of billions
+of messages a day, CERN, SAP's Integration Suite, alongside banks, airlines, healthcare providers,
+and national governments across six continents. Commercial platforms from Red Hat, SAP, and others
+are built directly on Camel.

+
+Trust is not a feeling — it is a record. Camel's is public and unbroken: every release, every
+advisory, and every line of code is out in the open for you to check.
