Dokploy vs Gloo Gateway: at a glance
What is Dokploy?
Dokploy's 0.30 line lands as cloud billing and a Docker network UI, with quiet patches since.
This feed jumps from v0.29.14 to v0.30.10, dated October 22, a tag with no notes. The GitHub releases in between show v0.30.0 adding a Docker network management UI, then Cloud onboarding, billing and trial work in September. Before that, the 0.29 line added encrypted environment variables and closed a git clone command injection.
What is Gloo Gateway?
Gloo Gateway's October batch fixes proxies that silently kept stale endpoints.
Gloo Gateway still maintains 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21 in parallel and releases them in same-day batches. The 2026-10-21 batch fixes a bug where a placeholder EDS assignment carried the wrong cluster name, so a proxy received an update it could not match, kept its old endpoints and never recovered. Each line also moved to Go 1.26.10; 1.21 additionally upgraded kin-openapi.

Dokploy
2.5INFRA · APIS
Dokploy's 0.30 line lands as cloud billing and a Docker network UI, with quiet patches since.
◆ Current state
This feed jumps from v0.29.14 to v0.30.10, dated October 22, a tag with no notes. The GitHub releases in between show v0.30.0 adding a Docker network management UI, then Cloud onboarding, billing and trial work in September. Before that, the 0.29 line added encrypted environment variables and closed a git clone command injection.
◆ Where it's heading
The commercial thread predicted from the plan limits has become concrete: the 0.30 releases include Cloud onboarding and trial handling alongside the self-hosted product. Hardening continues in smaller steps, including a Node.js security bump in v0.30.9. Patch notes have grown thinner, and two recent tags carry no change list at all.
◆ Prediction
Expect further Cloud billing and onboarding work on the 0.30 line. With v0.30.10's notes empty, its content cannot be judged.
Gloo Gateway
5.0INFRA · APIS
Gloo Gateway's October batch fixes proxies that silently kept stale endpoints.
◆ Current state
Gloo Gateway still maintains 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21 in parallel and releases them in same-day batches. The 2026-10-21 batch fixes a bug where a placeholder EDS assignment carried the wrong cluster name, so a proxy received an update it could not match, kept its old endpoints and never recovered. Each line also moved to Go 1.26.10; 1.21 additionally upgraded kin-openapi.
◆ Where it's heading
Releases remain maintenance: Go and Kubernetes bumps on a weekly rhythm, with an occasional real bug fix shipped to every line at once. The 1.18 line no longer appears in the October batches. No new features are visible.
◆ Prediction
Expect further same-day dependency batches across the three lines; the entries show no feature release coming.
