OpenReplay vs Apache StreamPark: at a glance
What is OpenReplay?
OpenReplay's feed is Helm chart bumps behind its asset-cacher deny list.
OpenReplay's entries since November 4 are automated backup tags on the 1.26 and 1.27 lines that only increment Helm chart versions for chalice, assist-api and assist-stats. The last functional change remains the November 3 ASSETS_DENY_HOSTS option, which lets self-hosters block hosts the asset cacher may fetch, alongside a fix for EE 1.26 images that crashed on start.
What is Apache StreamPark?
Five release candidates in two years, none of them stable, and none since October 2025.
StreamPark's tracked feed holds five release candidates spanning April 2024 to October 2025, and the notes are extremely thin — three of the five describe a single change each, one of them a Vue router naming bug. The most substantial entry, v2.1.7-rc1, lists four items: Maven argument validation, a license header consistency fix, a login authentication refinement and a Flink configuration file retrieval fix. No stable release appears anywhere in this record.

OpenReplay
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenReplay's feed is Helm chart bumps behind its asset-cacher deny list.
◆ Current state
OpenReplay's entries since November 4 are automated backup tags on the 1.26 and 1.27 lines that only increment Helm chart versions for chalice, assist-api and assist-stats. The last functional change remains the November 3 ASSETS_DENY_HOSTS option, which lets self-hosters block hosts the asset cacher may fetch, alongside a fix for EE 1.26 images that crashed on start.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is in a maintenance stretch, backporting fixes across 1.25 to 1.27 and repackaging charts. Nothing in recent entries points to new user-facing features.
◆ Prediction
Unclear from these entries; more chart-bump backup tags are likely until a 1.27.x release with notes appears.
Apache StreamPark
0.0ANALYTICS
Five release candidates in two years, none of them stable, and none since October 2025.
◆ Current state
StreamPark's tracked feed holds five release candidates spanning April 2024 to October 2025, and the notes are extremely thin — three of the five describe a single change each, one of them a Vue router naming bug. The most substantial entry, v2.1.7-rc1, lists four items: Maven argument validation, a license header consistency fix, a login authentication refinement and a Flink configuration file retrieval fix. No stable release appears anywhere in this record.
◆ Where it's heading
Nothing in these entries describes new capability for the stream processing platform itself. The changes cluster around build tooling, authentication and the web console — the periphery of the product rather than its Flink and Spark job management core. Combined with a cadence of roughly two releases a year and a nine-month gap since the last one, the visible signal is a project in low-activity maintenance.
◆ Prediction
The entries do not support a prediction about direction. What they do warrant is checking whether development moved somewhere this feed does not capture, since a stream processing platform with no stable releases on record is more likely a tracking gap than a complete picture.
