Apache Cloudberry vs Apache Superset
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Apache Cloudberry and Apache Superset — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Apache Cloudberry vs Apache Superset: at a glance
What is Apache Cloudberry?
An MPP warehouse fork grinding through ASF incubation, one release candidate at a time
Apache Cloudberry is a Greenplum-derived MPP data warehouse working through Apache incubation. Its release feed is procedural rather than editorial: each version ships as a tag with download links, checksum instructions and a contributor roll, while the actual changelog lives off-site on cloudberry.apache.org. The 2.1.0-incubating release in May 2026 is the most recent general release, preceded by two release candidates.
What is Apache Superset?
Superset's tracked feed is a Helm chart tag stream with no notes attached.
The feed being tracked carries Apache Superset's Helm chart releases rather than Superset itself. Six chart versions landed between mid-July and 10 August, walking 0.21.x up to 0.22.5, and every entry carries only the project's boilerplate one-line description. What actually changed in any given chart bump is not disclosed in the feed.

◆ Current state
Apache Cloudberry is a Greenplum-derived MPP data warehouse working through Apache incubation. Its release feed is procedural rather than editorial: each version ships as a tag with download links, checksum instructions and a contributor roll, while the actual changelog lives off-site on cloudberry.apache.org. The 2.1.0-incubating release in May 2026 is the most recent general release, preceded by two release candidates.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence has shifted from the 2024 weekly-build era to a slower, more formal release train: two or three release candidates, then a general release roughly every eight months. That is the shape of a project optimizing for ASF graduation criteria — reproducible builds, signed artifacts, documented voting — rather than for feature velocity. The contributor list is broad and stable across releases, which suggests a real multi-vendor community rather than a single-sponsor project.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 2.2.0 release-candidate series to open on a similar multi-month cycle. Whether the project exits incubation in that window is not something these release notes indicate either way.
Apache Superset
5.0ANALYTICS
Superset's tracked feed is a Helm chart tag stream with no notes attached.
◆ Current state
The feed being tracked carries Apache Superset's Helm chart releases rather than Superset itself. Six chart versions landed between mid-July and 10 August, walking 0.21.x up to 0.22.5, and every entry carries only the project's boilerplate one-line description. What actually changed in any given chart bump is not disclosed in the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
Chart releases are arriving roughly weekly, which points to steady packaging maintenance underneath — image bumps, template corrections, values-file changes — rather than a visible product push. Because the feed publishes no notes, the deployment layer is the only Superset surface observable here. Anyone tracking application-level work needs the core repository, not this stream.
◆ Prediction
The cadence supports exactly one confident call: more chart point releases within weeks. The entries carry no content indicating what those bumps will contain.
