+**Aerospike Document API is a community OSS project**. As described on the [Product Stages](https://aerospike.com/docs/database/reference/product-stages#open-source-products-tools-and-libraries) page, this means that Aerospike will no longer provide support for the Document API library, including vulnerability patching.
