Semgrep vs Tyk: at a glance
What is Semgrep?
Semgrep takes Dart to GA and drops CodeQL's QL, while Supply Chain keeps widening.
Semgrep ships roughly weekly. Supply Chain has carried the substantive work lately: Bun lockfiles in 1.179, Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, changed-dependency reporting in 1.174. 1.180 shifts to the language side, promoting Dart to GA with type-aware matching and removing QL as a target language.
What is Tyk?
Tyk's release feed is CVE dependency bumps across three maintained lines.
Tyk is cutting release candidates on several maintained lines at once (5.8, 5.13, 5.15) and nearly all of them carry the same dependency bump for a batch of CVEs: kin-openapi, golang.org/x/crypto, thrift and the OTLP trace exporters. The one feature entry is the 5.16.0 alpha, where the gateway sends node metadata when it registers.

Semgrep
6.3INFRA · APIS
Semgrep takes Dart to GA and drops CodeQL's QL, while Supply Chain keeps widening.
◆ Current state
Semgrep ships roughly weekly. Supply Chain has carried the substantive work lately: Bun lockfiles in 1.179, Bazel Maven workspaces in 1.177, changed-dependency reporting in 1.174. 1.180 shifts to the language side, promoting Dart to GA with type-aware matching and removing QL as a target language.
◆ Where it's heading
Two tracks run in parallel: more dependency ecosystems for Supply Chain, with the 1.177 notes naming rules_python, rules_go and rules_js as next Bazel milestones, and deeper semantics for languages Semgrep already parses. Dropping QL shows the team is also pruning languages it doesn't intend to support well.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next Bazel ecosystem via rules_python or rules_go within a few releases, and possibly more languages moved between maturity tiers following Dart's promotion.
Tyk
5.0INFRA · APIS
Tyk's release feed is CVE dependency bumps across three maintained lines.
◆ Current state
Tyk is cutting release candidates on several maintained lines at once (5.8, 5.13, 5.15) and nearly all of them carry the same dependency bump for a batch of CVEs: kin-openapi, golang.org/x/crypto, thrift and the OTLP trace exporters. The one feature entry is the 5.16.0 alpha, where the gateway sends node metadata when it registers.
◆ Where it's heading
The work is supply-chain maintenance spread across a wide support window, with feature work happening on the 5.16 alpha line. Gateway registration metadata hints at better fleet visibility from the control plane, but one ticket is not enough to call a direction.
◆ Prediction
Expect the CVE bumps to go final across 5.13 and 5.15 and more 5.16 alphas; what 5.16 adds beyond gateway registration isn't visible yet.
