Apideck vs Velociraptor
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Apideck and Velociraptor — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Apideck vs Velociraptor: at a glance
What is Apideck?
Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.
Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.
What is Velociraptor?
Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.
Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.

Apideck
2.5INFRA · APIS
Apideck rebuilds its SD Worx connector after the old login method is switched off.
◆ Current state
Apideck added an SD Worx web service connector on November 3 that uses certificate-based OIDC credentials, because SD Worx no longer activates the username and password access the SOAP connector relied on. Existing connections keep working, and the old connector now points to the new one as its migration target. It covers employees and daily time-off records, within SD Worx's limit of 1,000 employee-months per day.
◆ Where it's heading
After a summer of new European accounting and HRIS connectors, the newest entry is maintenance driven by a vendor's auth change. Apideck now handles migrations inside the catalog by marking legacy connectors with a target.
◆ Prediction
The entries show a six-week gap before this one, so the cadence of new connectors is unclear; expect more migrations as vendors retire password-based access.
Velociraptor
0.0INFRA · APIS
Velociraptor's recent releases are mostly about patching CVEs.
◆ Current state
Velociraptor 0.77.3 shipped on October 5 as a bug fix and CVE release; it also adds an artifact that uploads server results to Azure Monitor and trims the columns emitted by the backup artifacts. 0.77.2 and a 0.76.7 backport in September and August were CVE fixes. The 0.77.1 feature release landed in June, but its notes in the feed only link out.
◆ Where it's heading
Since June the project has been in security mode, fixing CVEs on the current line and backporting to the previous one. Feature work shows up as new artifacts, here an Azure Monitor export, which keeps Velociraptor feeding results into the logging tools teams already use.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 0.77 patch releases and possibly another backport if new CVEs are published; the timing of a 0.78 feature release is not signaled here.
