What is immudb?

immudb 1.11.0 added PostgreSQL compatibility — tamper-evident storage now accessible to ORM-based stacks.

immudb is in a 1.11.x maintenance cycle after the substantial 1.11.0 release, which added PostgreSQL ORM compatibility (pg_catalog, information_schema), structured audit logging with tamper-proof JSON events, and a new --audit-verif flag. The 1.11.2 maintenance release fixes a transaction survival issue when a statement fails before execution — a correctness fix for edge cases in transaction handling. The v2.0.0-RC1 from early 2025 introduced a different architecture (new indexing layer, simplified API), but 1.11.x appears to be the active production track.

What is Workato?

Workato gives MCP proxies per-user OAuth and opens a UK data center with its agent stack.

Workato runs an agent layer (Genies, Agent Studio, AIRO, hosted MCP servers) on top of its enterprise automation platform. Since September's tool-level MCP RBAC GA and SOAP/XML work, it added OAuth to proxy MCP servers so each end user reaches upstream servers under their own identity, made a UK data center GA with Agent Studio and Enterprise MCP at launch, and shortened API Platform OAuth2 credentials from 64 to 50 characters.

immudb 1.11.0 added PostgreSQL compatibility — tamper-evident storage now accessible to ORM-based stacks.

◆ Current state

immudb is in a 1.11.x maintenance cycle after the substantial 1.11.0 release, which added PostgreSQL ORM compatibility (pg_catalog, information_schema), structured audit logging with tamper-proof JSON events, and a new --audit-verif flag. The 1.11.2 maintenance release fixes a transaction survival issue when a statement fails before execution — a correctness fix for edge cases in transaction handling. The v2.0.0-RC1 from early 2025 introduced a different architecture (new indexing layer, simplified API), but 1.11.x appears to be the active production track.

◆ Where it's heading

The PostgreSQL compatibility push is the clearest directional signal: immudb is trying to become accessible to developers using standard ORMs without learning immudb's native API. Combined with the structured audit logging, the pitch is a tamper-evident backend that behaves like PostgreSQL for existing toolchains. The v2.0.0 architecture rework remains an open question — whether it reaches GA or gets merged back into the 1.x line is unclear from the releases shown.

◆ Prediction

A stable v2.0.0 release or clear abandonment of the v2 branch in favor of continued 1.x enhancements is the next decision point. The PostgreSQL compatibility work will likely expand to cover more pg_catalog views needed by common ORMs.

5.0

Workato gives MCP proxies per-user OAuth and opens a UK data center with its agent stack.

◆ Current state

Workato runs an agent layer (Genies, Agent Studio, AIRO, hosted MCP servers) on top of its enterprise automation platform. Since September's tool-level MCP RBAC GA and SOAP/XML work, it added OAuth to proxy MCP servers so each end user reaches upstream servers under their own identity, made a UK data center GA with Agent Studio and Enterprise MCP at launch, and shortened API Platform OAuth2 credentials from 64 to 50 characters.

◆ Where it's heading

The agent platform is being made deployable for regulated enterprises: per-user identity on MCP calls, per-tool access control and regional data residency for the full AI stack. The connector catalog keeps tilting toward agent infrastructure such as search, scraping and vector stores.

◆ Prediction

Expect the AI stack to reach more regional data centers and per-user identity to extend from MCP proxies to other agent tooling; the entries do not show a timeline for either.
