What is Merge?
Merge adds connectors and new models weekly while fixing ERP sync details underneath.
Merge ships weekly across Gateway, Unified and Agent Handler. October brought new Agent Handler connectors (Google Workspace, Ironclad, Zoom Phone, Meta Ads, TikTok for Business, Warp), Gateway support for GPT-6.1 Terra, Gemini 4 Argon and Mistral Large 4, custom prompt classifiers and a management API for security rules. Unified got NetSuite, QuickBooks, SharePoint and Jira sync fixes.
What is Redocly?
Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.
Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.
Merge vs Redocly: editorial side-by-side
Merge
5.0INFRA · APIS
Merge adds connectors and new models weekly while fixing ERP sync details underneath.
◆ Current state
Merge ships weekly across Gateway, Unified and Agent Handler. October brought new Agent Handler connectors (Google Workspace, Ironclad, Zoom Phone, Meta Ads, TikTok for Business, Warp), Gateway support for GPT-6.1 Terra, Gemini 4 Argon and Mistral Large 4, custom prompt classifiers and a management API for security rules. Unified got NetSuite, QuickBooks, SharePoint and Jira sync fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
Merge is positioning Gateway and Agent Handler as the governed path for enterprise AI, adding admin controls and API management alongside catalog growth. The Unified integrations business keeps getting steady correctness fixes rather than new categories.
◆ Prediction
Expect more connectors and same-week model additions in Gateway, plus more management-API coverage; pricing or packaging changes are not visible in the entries.
Redocly
6.3INFRA · APIS
Redocly fixes EU-region SSO and log-retention limits in three platform releases in one day.
◆ Current state
Redocly ships platform builds daily. After renaming `reunite` to `platform` in config 0.70.0 and wiring it through Platform v2026-10-31.1, three November 2 releases fixed SSO failing for EU-hosted projects without `access.residency`, an organization switcher that ignored SSO-required orgs, runtime logs showing more history than the plan allows, and a hidden team-manager list after plan downgrades.
◆ Where it's heading
Recent work concentrates on access control and plan enforcement around SSO, data residency and RBAC, next to the rename and the AI agent's support-desk features. The fixes suggest region-specific hosting and plan tiers are still being hardened.
◆ Prediction
Expect more access and plan-boundary fixes in daily platform builds, and further support-desk features for the agent; when the `reunite` key will stop working is unclear.
