Dashy vs Mergify: at a glance
What is Dashy?
Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins
Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.
What is Mergify?
Mergify's merge queue now hunts the breaking PR by rerunning failed tests first
Mergify shipped more than a dozen changes in the last week of October. On the merge queue, failed batches now run the failing tests first in each split, stacked PRs enter the queue together, scope capacities work with Bazel, Pants and Turborepo scopes and patterns, and batch merge commits name the PRs they land. Test Engine gained Minitest, Jest and Mocha plugins and a setup path driven by a coding agent. Jinja2 expressions in configuration stopped being evaluated on October 31.

Dashy
5.0INFRA · APIS
Dashy shipped ten releases in five days; one fixes how auth headers trust origins
◆ Current state
Dashy ships one release per merged PR. From October 26 to 31 that meant ten releases: six were Dependabot bumps, and the rest were fixes, including accepting IPv6 connections by default, a workspace header and search fix, an icon color fix, and a security fix for auth headers used with lookalike origins.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence stays automated and small-grained, with the maintainer's own fixes interleaved with dependency updates.
◆ Prediction
More single-PR releases will follow; the entries give no sign of a larger feature release.

Mergify's merge queue now hunts the breaking PR by rerunning failed tests first
◆ Current state
Mergify shipped more than a dozen changes in the last week of October. On the merge queue, failed batches now run the failing tests first in each split, stacked PRs enter the queue together, scope capacities work with Bazel, Pants and Turborepo scopes and patterns, and batch merge commits name the PRs they land. Test Engine gained Minitest, Jest and Mocha plugins and a setup path driven by a coding agent. Jinja2 expressions in configuration stopped being evaluated on October 31.
◆ Where it's heading
Mergify is tying its merge queue to test data: Test Engine knows which tests fail, and the queue uses that to bisect faster with less CI. Monorepo build tools and stacked PRs are now first-class queue inputs.
◆ Prediction
More queue behavior driven by Test Engine results is likely, given that Fail First and the new test plugins shipped the same week.
