Aerospike vs Gravity Wiz: at a glance
What is Aerospike?
Aerospike's 8.0 branch picks up three more CVE fixes two months after the July train.
Aerospike Community Edition maintains 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 branches. On 16 July it published seven releases in under two hours carrying two waves of security fixes across all four. In September 8.0.0.20 added three more CVE fixes (msgpack bounds checks in UDFs, a zero-length list element crash and a heap overflow in persisted lists and maps) along with cold-start set-membership and recluster fixes.
What is Gravity Wiz?
Gravity Wiz previews Flowcrafter, a visual workflow canvas for Gravity Forms.
Gravity Wiz has been launching whole products: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, and Product Configurator 1.0 and Spam Hexer in June. On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.

Aerospike's 8.0 branch picks up three more CVE fixes two months after the July train.
◆ Current state
Aerospike Community Edition maintains 7.1, 7.2, 8.0 and 8.1 branches. On 16 July it published seven releases in under two hours carrying two waves of security fixes across all four. In September 8.0.0.20 added three more CVE fixes (msgpack bounds checks in UDFs, a zero-length list element crash and a heap overflow in persisted lists and maps) along with cold-start set-membership and recluster fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
msgpack parsing and collection data types keep producing memory-safety bugs across both the July and September releases. 8.0.0.19 does not appear in the feed, and no 8.1 or 7.x counterpart to 8.0.0.20 has shown up yet.
◆ Prediction
If the July pattern holds, matching 8.1 and 7.2 releases with the same three CVE fixes should follow.
Gravity Wiz
3.8DEVOPS
Gravity Wiz previews Flowcrafter, a visual workflow canvas for Gravity Forms.
◆ Current state
Gravity Wiz has been launching whole products: GP Bookings 1.0 in August, a free Entry Archive plugin in July, and Product Configurator 1.0 and Spam Hexer in June. On November 6 it opened early access to Flowcrafter Beta 1, a free plugin for building Gravity Forms processes on a visual canvas with steps, decisions, approval waits and a record of each run.
◆ Where it's heading
Each launch takes Gravity Forms further from data collection: bookings made it a scheduling tool, and Flowcrafter makes it a process engine where a submission starts multi-step work. The pattern is broad new surfaces, with beta and alpha releases before 1.0.
◆ Prediction
Expect further Flowcrafter betas adding steps and integrations with existing perks such as GP Bookings, before a 1.0 release.
