Kryo is a very new and interesting Java serialization library, and one of the fastest in the thrift-protobuf benchmark. If you've used Kryo, has it already reached enough maturity to try it out in production code?

Update (10/27/2010): We're using Kryo, though not yet in production. See my answer below for details.

Update (3/9/2011): Updating to the latest Jackson and Kryo libraries shows that Jackson's binary Smile serialization is pretty competitive.

Kryo is part of Yahoo's S4 (Simple Scalable Streaming System) project. S4 isn't production yet as far as I know.
