What is Argo Rollouts?

An RC-only feed where 1.9's headline change was reverted before it shipped.

Every entry in this window is a release candidate; no GA tag appears at all. The 1.9 line spent three RCs largely on pipeline problems — rc3 explicitly ships no changes from rc2 — and its one architectural change was withdrawn. That change would have narrowed .status.selector to report only the stable ReplicaSet for traffic-routed canaries so HPA stopped counting canary pods in its desired-replica math. The 1.10.0-rc1 notes are dominated by build and dependency work.

What is Dokploy?

A self-hosted PaaS spending its releases on secrets, injection fixes and plan limits.

Dokploy cuts patch releases every one to two weeks, and the recent stream is dominated by hardening rather than features. v0.29.12 added AES-256-GCM encryption for environment variables at rest and made backups carry the full keyring; v0.29.13 closed an OS command injection in git clone across all providers. The newest tag says outright that it is bug fixes only. Alongside that, plan limits landed in v0.29.10.

Argo Rollouts vs Dokploy: editorial side-by-side

A
Argo Rollouts
INFRA · APIS
0.0

An RC-only feed where 1.9's headline change was reverted before it shipped.

◆ Current state

Every entry in this window is a release candidate; no GA tag appears at all. The 1.9 line spent three RCs largely on pipeline problems — rc3 explicitly ships no changes from rc2 — and its one architectural change was withdrawn. That change would have narrowed .status.selector to report only the stable ReplicaSet for traffic-routed canaries so HPA stopped counting canary pods in its desired-replica math. The 1.10.0-rc1 notes are dominated by build and dependency work.

◆ Where it's heading

The visible direction is operational rather than behavioural: notifications broadened to Teams workflows and NATS.io, a build system parameterized for company forks, CI skipped for docs-only changes, a move to pnpm. The selector revert says the project would rather live with awkward HPA math than break autoscaling for existing users, so progressive-delivery mechanics stay where they are.

◆ Prediction

1.10.0 looks likely to land close to rc1 — dependency, CVE and notification work with no controller-semantics change — and the HPA selector question stays open unless it returns behind an opt-in flag.

Dokploy
INFRA · APIS
6.3

A self-hosted PaaS spending its releases on secrets, injection fixes and plan limits.

◆ Current state

Dokploy cuts patch releases every one to two weeks, and the recent stream is dominated by hardening rather than features. v0.29.12 added AES-256-GCM encryption for environment variables at rest and made backups carry the full keyring; v0.29.13 closed an OS command injection in git clone across all providers. The newest tag says outright that it is bug fixes only. Alongside that, plan limits landed in v0.29.10.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is a self-hosted platform trying to earn production trust: encrypted secrets, injection fixes, a pinned install script tied to each release, and Postgres query rewrites to stop hitting the 100-argument limit on rollbacks, schedules and backups. Plan limits point the other way — toward a commercial tier layered on the open-source core. Both arcs suggest the project is past feature-chasing and into making the platform defensible.

◆ Prediction

Expect the hardening thread to continue into the rest of the 0.29 line, with the plan-limits work being the seed of a paid tier that gets more definition before a 0.30 release.
