performance vs Apache Superset
A side-by-side editorial comparison of performance and Apache Superset — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
performance vs Apache Superset: at a glance
What is performance?
performance keeps adding ways to check a model you have already fitted.
performance is at 0.17.1, which added check_priors() for prior predictive checks on Bayesian models and gave check_overdispersion(), check_model() and check_predictions() arguments to control residual type and plot range. The releases before it are a similar mix: a -2LL criterion column in test_likelihoodratio(), Bayesian predictive checks routed through modelbased, and in 0.16.0 a set of breaking renames including RMSA to the correct RMSR.
What is Apache Superset?
Superset's tracked feed is a Helm chart tag stream with no notes attached.
The feed being tracked carries Apache Superset's Helm chart releases rather than Superset itself. Six chart versions landed between mid-July and 10 August, walking 0.21.x up to 0.22.5, and every entry carries only the project's boilerplate one-line description. What actually changed in any given chart bump is not disclosed in the feed.

◆ Current state
performance is at 0.17.1, which added check_priors() for prior predictive checks on Bayesian models and gave check_overdispersion(), check_model() and check_predictions() arguments to control residual type and plot range. The releases before it are a similar mix: a -2LL criterion column in test_likelihoodratio(), Bayesian predictive checks routed through modelbased, and in 0.16.0 a set of breaking renames including RMSA to the correct RMSR.
◆ Where it's heading
Two consistent habits. Diagnostics keep gaining arguments to narrow what is examined — ppc_range, x_limits, maximum_dots, show_ci — which reads as a package being used on models large and awkward enough that the defaults stopped working. And simulated residuals via DHARMa keep displacing standard ones as the basis for the checks themselves.
◆ Prediction
With check_priors() newly added and Bayesian predictive checks now routed through modelbased, the next release most likely extends the Bayesian diagnostic set rather than reworking the frequentist checks.
Apache Superset
5.0ANALYTICS
Superset's tracked feed is a Helm chart tag stream with no notes attached.
◆ Current state
The feed being tracked carries Apache Superset's Helm chart releases rather than Superset itself. Six chart versions landed between mid-July and 10 August, walking 0.21.x up to 0.22.5, and every entry carries only the project's boilerplate one-line description. What actually changed in any given chart bump is not disclosed in the feed.
◆ Where it's heading
Chart releases are arriving roughly weekly, which points to steady packaging maintenance underneath — image bumps, template corrections, values-file changes — rather than a visible product push. Because the feed publishes no notes, the deployment layer is the only Superset surface observable here. Anyone tracking application-level work needs the core repository, not this stream.
◆ Prediction
The cadence supports exactly one confident call: more chart point releases within weeks. The entries carry no content indicating what those bumps will contain.
