Dragonfly vs ToolJet
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Dragonfly and ToolJet — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Dragonfly vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is Dragonfly?
Dragonfly speeds up slot lookups on 2.0 as its cluster-mode fixes keep coming.
Dragonfly maintains two incremental lines, 1.40 and 2.0, with small targeted releases. The 2.0 line has fixed dropped writes during slot migration and moved experimental slot-based sharding to Fibonacci hashing. i2.0.6 on October 30 makes GetSlotInfo faster, another cluster-mode refinement.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet's beta adds data source folders, database environments and git sync for workflows.
ToolJet runs two release lines: an LTS track that took AI Builder releases 4 and 5 and a custom-component CLI in late October, and a beta track that moves faster. Beta v3.21.87 on November 2 adds folders for data sources, environments for ToolJet Database, and git sync for workflows. The same release closes several tenant-isolation bugs, including an IDOR in page and component lookups and imports that trusted a client-supplied organization ID.
Dragonfly vs ToolJet: editorial side-by-side
Dragonfly
5.0INFRA · APIS
Dragonfly speeds up slot lookups on 2.0 as its cluster-mode fixes keep coming.
◆ Current state
Dragonfly maintains two incremental lines, 1.40 and 2.0, with small targeted releases. The 2.0 line has fixed dropped writes during slot migration and moved experimental slot-based sharding to Fibonacci hashing. i2.0.6 on October 30 makes GetSlotInfo faster, another cluster-mode refinement.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.0 line is maturing through cluster and migration work, while 1.40 gets targeted performance backports. Release cadence has slowed from paired weekly builds to occasional single fixes.
◆ Prediction
Expect further 2.0.x builds focused on cluster mode and slot migration; whether scope-based memory tracking gets switched on is still unclear.
ToolJet
5.0INFRA · APIS
ToolJet's beta adds data source folders, database environments and git sync for workflows.
◆ Current state
ToolJet runs two release lines: an LTS track that took AI Builder releases 4 and 5 and a custom-component CLI in late October, and a beta track that moves faster. Beta v3.21.87 on November 2 adds folders for data sources, environments for ToolJet Database, and git sync for workflows. The same release closes several tenant-isolation bugs, including an IDOR in page and component lookups and imports that trusted a client-supplied organization ID.
◆ Where it's heading
The beta line is filling in the structure larger teams need, with environments, folders, version control and permission scopes, while the LTS line absorbs AI Builder releases a few days at a time. The security fixes in the same beta point to an audit of multi-tenant boundaries.
◆ Prediction
Expect the beta's environments, folders and tenant-isolation fixes to reach the LTS line in a coming patch, as AI Builder releases did in October.
