Exoscale vs Sanity: at a glance
What is Exoscale?
Exoscale ships Managed ClickHouse and deepens Kubernetes Karpenter support as European cloud buildout accelerates.
Exoscale is a European cloud provider shipping across three active tracks: managed databases, Kubernetes infrastructure, and marketplace ecosystem. The headline addition this cycle is Managed ClickHouse—a GDPR-compliant OLAP service—marking a meaningful expansion of their managed data tier. Concurrently, Kubernetes 1.37 landed on SKS and the Karpenter integration received container registry mirroring and CPU Manager policy support, targeting teams running large-scale or latency-sensitive workloads.
What is Sanity?
Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates
Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.

Exoscale
6.3DEVOPS
Exoscale ships Managed ClickHouse and deepens Kubernetes Karpenter support as European cloud buildout accelerates.
◆ Current state
Exoscale is a European cloud provider shipping across three active tracks: managed databases, Kubernetes infrastructure, and marketplace ecosystem. The headline addition this cycle is Managed ClickHouse—a GDPR-compliant OLAP service—marking a meaningful expansion of their managed data tier. Concurrently, Kubernetes 1.37 landed on SKS and the Karpenter integration received container registry mirroring and CPU Manager policy support, targeting teams running large-scale or latency-sensitive workloads.
◆ Where it's heading
Exoscale is building a broad European cloud alternative with a tight focus on compliance and managed services. Each new managed database (ClickHouse follows their earlier Kafka and PostgreSQL offerings) reduces the operational overhead they expect customers to carry themselves. The Karpenter feature cadence and GPU MIG partitioning hint at a deliberate AI infrastructure push: smaller teams that want to run GPU workloads without owning bare-metal now have a path on Exoscale. The marketplace is accumulating AI-adjacent tools alongside traditional partner integrations.
◆ Prediction
A managed vector database or AI-focused storage tier is likely next, fitting the pattern of each managed-service launch targeting a category where operators currently run their own nodes. GPU MIG support for SKS and marketplace additions like SOKKAN reinforce this direction.
Sanity
7.5DEVOPS
Sanity's MCP server hits v2.33 with safer publishing guards as Studio bug-fix cadence accelerates
◆ Current state
Sanity is running two parallel tracks simultaneously: Studio (v6.14.x) is receiving rapid bug-fix releases targeting real-world pain — Portable Text data-loss risks, appearance theming inconsistencies, popover UX regressions. At the same time, the MCP server is iterating weekly from v2.31 to v2.33, adding revision guards for safer publishing, distributed-tracing auth fixes, and token-efficient query responses. The combined picture is a team hardening both the human-facing editor and the AI-tool-facing API interface.
◆ Where it's heading
Sanity is building the MCP server into a production-grade write interface for AI agents. The `ifRevisionId` guard in v2.33 — which causes publishing to fail if a draft changed since the caller read it — is the kind of concurrency safety needed before AI agents can reliably edit live content. Studio stability work is catching up after a period of fast feature shipping. Expect MCP tool coverage to broaden and the auth/schema layers to continue hardening for enterprise-scale deployments.
◆ Prediction
The next MCP server release will likely add more write-path safety features — document locking or conflict detection. Studio v6.15 will address remaining edge cases exposed by the MCP surface's broader read/write coverage.
