What is Prometheus?
Two branches running in parallel: 3.13 LTS on security patches, 3.14 promoting experiments to stable.
Prometheus is maintaining a 3.13 LTS line and a 3.5 line with security-only releases while 3.14 develops. The LTS patches have been narrow and serious — a head-chunk cache returning samples from the wrong chunk after truncation, a SIGBUS crash when the active query tracker's disk fills, plus CVE-driven dependency bumps in golang.org/x/text and gRPC. The 3.14.0 release candidate is where the feature work sits: duration expressions on by default, first_over_time promoted out of the experimental flag, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service discovery added.
What is WeWeb?
WeWeb opens its no-code builder to AI agents via MCP, deepens Supabase ties
WeWeb is steadily turning its visual web-app builder into an AI- and agent-friendly platform. Recent releases added MCP support so external AI tools can build directly in a project, plus AI-assisted workflow debugging, WeWeb AI planning and task tracking, and expanded AI element support. The last two releases are quieter - editor fixes, a refresh-token action, and load-time work - so the AI push is currently in a consolidation stretch.
Prometheus vs WeWeb: editorial side-by-side
Prometheus
5.0DEVOPS
Two branches running in parallel: 3.13 LTS on security patches, 3.14 promoting experiments to stable.
◆ Current state
Prometheus is maintaining a 3.13 LTS line and a 3.5 line with security-only releases while 3.14 develops. The LTS patches have been narrow and serious — a head-chunk cache returning samples from the wrong chunk after truncation, a SIGBUS crash when the active query tracker's disk fills, plus CVE-driven dependency bumps in golang.org/x/text and gRPC. The 3.14.0 release candidate is where the feature work sits: duration expressions on by default, first_over_time promoted out of the experimental flag, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure service discovery added.
◆ Where it's heading
PromQL is the centre of gravity. Features enter behind promql-experimental-functions or a dedicated flag, get renamed once while experimental (min/max to min_of/max_of), then graduate — first_over_time and duration expressions are the current graduates, start_timestamp the next candidate behind use-start-timestamps. The API is simultaneously being tightened, with the stats parameter deprecated ahead of rejection in the next major and credential forwarding across redirects already removed in 3.13. Service discovery keeps absorbing clouds as their APIs change, OCI added and a Hetzner label dropped in the same release.
◆ Prediction
A 3.14.0 final should follow the release candidate within weeks, carrying the duration-expression and first_over_time promotions with it.
WeWeb
5.0DEVOPS
WeWeb opens its no-code builder to AI agents via MCP, deepens Supabase ties
◆ Current state
WeWeb is steadily turning its visual web-app builder into an AI- and agent-friendly platform. Recent releases added MCP support so external AI tools can build directly in a project, plus AI-assisted workflow debugging, WeWeb AI planning and task tracking, and expanded AI element support. The last two releases are quieter - editor fixes, a refresh-token action, and load-time work - so the AI push is currently in a consolidation stretch.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is AI-assisted and agent-driven app building on top of a Supabase-centric backend. MCP support makes the builder addressable by whatever AI tool a developer prefers, while in-product WeWeb AI gains planning, testing, and troubleshooting. Between feature drops the cadence fills with editor and publishing cleanup, which suggests the team is stabilizing the surfaces the AI layer drives rather than widening it every release.
◆ Prediction
Expect WeWeb AI and MCP to gain deeper build-and-debug autonomy, with the Supabase integration continuing to expand as the default backend.
