 # Service Weaver [![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/ServiceWeaver/weaver.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/ServiceWeaver/weaver)
 
+## 🚨 Important Announcement
+
+> **Service Weaver** began as an exploratory initiative to understand the challenges of developing, deploying, and maintaining distributed applications. We were excited by the strong interest from the developer community, which led us to open-source the project.
+>
+> We greatly appreciate the continued advocacy and support of the Service Weaver community. However, we realized that it was hard for users to adopt Service Weaver directly since it required rewriting large parts of existing applications. Therefore, Service Weaver did not see much direct use, and **effective December 5, 2024**, we will transition Service Weaver into maintenance mode. After this date, for the next 6 months, we will only push critical commits to the GitHub repository, respond to critical issues, merge critical pull requests, and patch new releases. We recommend that users fork the repository and report any issues preventing them from maintaining a stable version of the code.
+>
+> **On June 6, 2025**, we plan to permanently freeze and archive the GitHub repository, after which no new commits or releases will be made.

 Service Weaver is a programming framework for writing, deploying, and managing
 distributed applications. You can run, test, and debug a Service Weaver
 application locally on your machine, and then deploy it to the
