SchemaHero vs SurveyJS
A side-by-side editorial comparison of SchemaHero and SurveyJS — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
SchemaHero vs SurveyJS: at a glance
What is SchemaHero?
SchemaHero's beta train is CRD correctness work, one commit per tag.
The v0.26.0 beta line ships as a series of single-commit tags: Doppler added as a secrets source, the Slack app removed, RBAC role rules updated, and a fix enabling the status subresource on the Table custom resource. The status fix was the substantial one, correcting all four tracked CRD artifacts and finding the same omission on Function. Each tag carries one change, so the version count reflects commit granularity rather than release scope.
What is SurveyJS?
SurveyJS keeps a notes-free v1 line alive while v3 grinds through theming in beta.
SurveyJS is maintaining two branches in parallel. The v1.12.x line ships tagged releases with no published notes — the feed carries only the version string and a CI skip marker — while v3.0.0 moves through numbered betas whose changelogs are raw PR lists dominated by theming, layout, and CSS variable work. Nothing in the recent window adds a question type or changes the library's public surface.

SchemaHero

SchemaHero's beta train is CRD correctness work, one commit per tag.
◆ Current state
The v0.26.0 beta line ships as a series of single-commit tags: Doppler added as a secrets source, the Slack app removed, RBAC role rules updated, and a fix enabling the status subresource on the Table custom resource. The status fix was the substantial one, correcting all four tracked CRD artifacts and finding the same omission on Function. Each tag carries one change, so the version count reflects commit granularity rather than release scope.
◆ Where it's heading
This is operator hygiene rather than feature work: making the Kubernetes custom resources behave the way controllers expect, and widening where database credentials can come from. The addition of a regression test that verifies every served Table CRD version enables /status suggests the project is closing a class of bug rather than a single instance. Nothing in this window changes what SchemaHero does to a database schema.
◆ Prediction
The status subresource audit already spread from Table to Function and confirmed DatabaseExtension; finishing that sweep across the remaining custom resources is the work these entries point to.
SurveyJS
5.0DEVOPS
SurveyJS keeps a notes-free v1 line alive while v3 grinds through theming in beta.
◆ Current state
SurveyJS is maintaining two branches in parallel. The v1.12.x line ships tagged releases with no published notes — the feed carries only the version string and a CI skip marker — while v3.0.0 moves through numbered betas whose changelogs are raw PR lists dominated by theming, layout, and CSS variable work. Nothing in the recent window adds a question type or changes the library's public surface.
◆ Where it's heading
v3 reads as a design-system rewrite rather than a feature release: SCSS variable refactors, theme tokens for dropdown menus and component radii, and repeated theme update passes recurring across consecutive betas. The v1 line is in pure upkeep, tagged every one to two weeks with nothing documented. The branches are not converging yet — v3 betas still carry Merge/v2 commits pulling stable-branch fixes forward.
◆ Prediction
The beta numbering and continued styling churn suggest a stable v3.0.0 is not close; the betas would have to shift from CSS refactors to migration and API notes first. What these entries do not show is whether the v1 line gets a documented final release or simply stops being tagged.
