TypeDB vs Sanity
A side-by-side editorial comparison of TypeDB and Sanity — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
TypeDB vs Sanity: at a glance
What is TypeDB?
TypeDB 3.15 RC trades import safety checks for 100k relations a second.
TypeDB published 3.15.0-rc0 on 10 November, after a 3.14 line focused on crash and TLS fixes. The candidate adds an optional parallel import path that skips most reads when the import file is ordered and well-formed, reaching about 100k relations per second in TypeDB's tests, and tightens query rules so optional variables must be handled explicitly with isset or the ? operator.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.

TypeDB
5.0DEVOPS
TypeDB 3.15 RC trades import safety checks for 100k relations a second.
◆ Current state
TypeDB published 3.15.0-rc0 on 10 November, after a 3.14 line focused on crash and TLS fixes. The candidate adds an optional parallel import path that skips most reads when the import file is ordered and well-formed, reaching about 100k relations per second in TypeDB's tests, and tightens query rules so optional variables must be handled explicitly with isset or the ? operator.
◆ Where it's heading
After months of reliability patches, the 3.15 cycle turns to bulk loading speed and stricter query semantics. The import protocol is described as groundwork for an upcoming loader that reads shaped tables or CSV files, so data onboarding is the visible next focus.
◆ Prediction
A further 3.15 release candidate and then 3.15.0 are likely, followed by the table or CSV data loader the import notes describe.
Sanity
6.3DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server now explains failed validations and stops skipping them.
◆ Current state
Sanity made Context Knowledge Bases generally available on November 10, letting agents read datasets, websites and files over MCP. The days since have been follow-up: MCP server 2.46.1 and 2.46.2 return stable error codes, explain incomplete validations and stop writes from skipping schema checks, while the console now shows when each robot token was last used. Media Library made PDF previews zoomable and folder counts in big libraries about seven times faster.
◆ Where it's heading
Sanity is making the agent-facing parts dependable: the MCP server is getting the error codes and validation rules a production client needs. Access visibility for tokens and members follows the same push to let teams audit what automated clients do.
◆ Prediction
Expect more MCP server point releases around validation and Knowledge Base commands, and more usage data on tokens and agents in the console.
