Redocly vs rsyslog: at a glance
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.
What is rsyslog?
rsyslog keeps adding cloud outputs, with Kinesis in October after CloudWatch in August.
rsyslog publishes a scheduled-stable snapshot every two months. April added YAML configuration and native OpenTelemetry protobuf output, June an Elastic Beats input and TCP compression, and August an imkubernetes input that tails pod and container logs, segmented disk-assisted queues and a CloudWatch Logs output. The October 8.2610.0 snapshot adds an Amazon Kinesis Data Streams output and an experimental producer-local queue.

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.

2.5INFRA · APIS
rsyslog keeps adding cloud outputs, with Kinesis in October after CloudWatch in August.
◆ Current state
rsyslog publishes a scheduled-stable snapshot every two months. April added YAML configuration and native OpenTelemetry protobuf output, June an Elastic Beats input and TCP compression, and August an imkubernetes input that tails pod and container logs, segmented disk-assisted queues and a CloudWatch Logs output. The October 8.2610.0 snapshot adds an Amazon Kinesis Data Streams output and an experimental producer-local queue.
◆ Where it's heading
Across 2026 rsyslog has moved from a host syslog daemon toward a container and cloud log shipper, adding inputs for Kubernetes and outputs for AWS services each cycle. Queueing is the other active area.
◆ Prediction
The next scheduled-stable snapshot is due in December on the two-month rhythm; which outputs it adds is unclear from the feed.
