Eventtia vs HOMER
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Eventtia and HOMER — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Eventtia vs HOMER: at a glance
What is Eventtia?
Eventtia bets on agentic architecture and enterprise SSO portals to move event software upmarket.
Eventtia is splitting its output between standard event-planning content and a sharper enterprise thesis: corporate-identity-gated registration portals (SAML/OIDC, Okta, Azure AD) and a platform deliberately opened to AI agents. The Swiss watchmaker case study and the SSO architecture explainer show real enterprise infrastructure work, not just feature checklists.
What is HOMER?
HOMER 11.0.367 turns off DuckDB's file cache for local lakes, another storage-path fix.
HOMER 11 is a SIP capture and troubleshooting stack built on DuckDB and DuckLake that releases several times a week. 11.0.367 disables DuckDB's external file cache for local lakes, a day after 11.0.366 bumped DuckDB to 1.5.6 and pinned Go 1.27.2. Before that, 11.0.365 blocked sniff_csv and replacement-scan file reads and rejected shipped placeholder secrets.

Eventtia bets on agentic architecture and enterprise SSO portals to move event software upmarket.
◆ Current state
Eventtia is splitting its output between standard event-planning content and a sharper enterprise thesis: corporate-identity-gated registration portals (SAML/OIDC, Okta, Azure AD) and a platform deliberately opened to AI agents. The Swiss watchmaker case study and the SSO architecture explainer show real enterprise infrastructure work, not just feature checklists.
◆ Where it's heading
Two reinforcing bets are forming — sell to IT and security buyers via SSO/identity integration, and reframe the platform as agent-accessible rather than a closed app with AI bolted on. Together they push Eventtia toward being event infrastructure for large organizations rather than a planner-facing tool.
◆ Prediction
The agentic-software framing is likely a precursor to a published API or agent interface; watch for a concrete developer or agent-integration surface to follow the manifesto.
HOMER
5.0MEETINGS
HOMER 11.0.367 turns off DuckDB's file cache for local lakes, another storage-path fix.
◆ Current state
HOMER 11 is a SIP capture and troubleshooting stack built on DuckDB and DuckLake that releases several times a week. 11.0.367 disables DuckDB's external file cache for local lakes, a day after 11.0.366 bumped DuckDB to 1.5.6 and pinned Go 1.27.2. Before that, 11.0.365 blocked sniff_csv and replacement-scan file reads and rejected shipped placeholder secrets.
◆ Where it's heading
Work runs on three lanes: making tiered DuckLake storage safe for live catalogs, widening the context around a single call (RTCP, OpenTelemetry logs, MCP search), and hardening the deployment surface. Cache and footer fixes keep appearing right after DuckDB upgrades, so the storage read path is still settling.
◆ Prediction
Expect further storage-path fixes after each DuckDB bump; the entries do not indicate the next feature addition.
