What is immudb?

immudb 1.11.0 added PostgreSQL compatibility — tamper-evident storage now accessible to ORM-based stacks.

immudb is in a 1.11.x maintenance cycle after the substantial 1.11.0 release, which added PostgreSQL ORM compatibility (pg_catalog, information_schema), structured audit logging with tamper-proof JSON events, and a new --audit-verif flag. The 1.11.2 maintenance release fixes a transaction survival issue when a statement fails before execution — a correctness fix for edge cases in transaction handling. The v2.0.0-RC1 from early 2025 introduced a different architecture (new indexing layer, simplified API), but 1.11.x appears to be the active production track.

What is Sanity?

Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates

Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.

immudb 1.11.0 added PostgreSQL compatibility — tamper-evident storage now accessible to ORM-based stacks.

◆ Current state

immudb is in a 1.11.x maintenance cycle after the substantial 1.11.0 release, which added PostgreSQL ORM compatibility (pg_catalog, information_schema), structured audit logging with tamper-proof JSON events, and a new --audit-verif flag. The 1.11.2 maintenance release fixes a transaction survival issue when a statement fails before execution — a correctness fix for edge cases in transaction handling. The v2.0.0-RC1 from early 2025 introduced a different architecture (new indexing layer, simplified API), but 1.11.x appears to be the active production track.

◆ Where it's heading

The PostgreSQL compatibility push is the clearest directional signal: immudb is trying to become accessible to developers using standard ORMs without learning immudb's native API. Combined with the structured audit logging, the pitch is a tamper-evident backend that behaves like PostgreSQL for existing toolchains. The v2.0.0 architecture rework remains an open question — whether it reaches GA or gets merged back into the 1.x line is unclear from the releases shown.

◆ Prediction

A stable v2.0.0 release or clear abandonment of the v2 branch in favor of continued 1.x enhancements is the next decision point. The PostgreSQL compatibility work will likely expand to cover more pg_catalog views needed by common ORMs.

Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates

◆ Current state

Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.

◆ Where it's heading

Sanity is building the MCP server into a production-grade write interface for AI agents. The `ifRevisionId` guard in v2.33 — which causes publishing to fail if a draft changed since the caller read it — is the kind of concurrency safety needed before AI agents can reliably edit live content. Studio stability work is catching up after a period of fast feature shipping. Expect MCP tool coverage to broaden and the auth/schema layers to continue hardening for enterprise-scale deployments.

◆ Prediction

The next MCP server release will likely add more write-path safety features — document locking or conflict detection. Studio v6.15 will address remaining edge cases exposed by the MCP surface's broader read/write coverage.
