Stacker vs Wazuh: at a glance
What is Stacker?
Stacker's AI agent has absorbed every part of app building except the data itself.
Stacker builds internal tools and customer portals on top of existing data. From late October 2025 the entire changelog is one project: an AI Builder Agent that generates and edits apps by conversation. In under seven weeks it went from generating initial pages and layouts to editing tables and fields, creating lookups, rollups and formulas, reshaping create forms, reordering navigation, building white-labelled external portals with custom domains and permissions, and finally taking a spreadsheet upload and configuring a schema and matching layouts from it.
What is Wazuh?
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.

Stacker's AI agent has absorbed every part of app building except the data itself.
◆ Current state
Stacker builds internal tools and customer portals on top of existing data. From late October 2025 the entire changelog is one project: an AI Builder Agent that generates and edits apps by conversation. In under seven weeks it went from generating initial pages and layouts to editing tables and fields, creating lookups, rollups and formulas, reshaping create forms, reordering navigation, building white-labelled external portals with custom domains and permissions, and finally taking a spreadsheet upload and configuring a schema and matching layouts from it.
◆ Where it's heading
The sequencing is deliberate: each release hands the agent one more thing that previously required the no-code editor, while the company repeatedly reassures users that the full editor still works on AI-built apps. That dual framing — build by conversation, refine by hand — is the position Stacker is defending, and it is a reasonable answer to pure prompt-to-app tools that leave nothing to adjust afterwards. The portal release is the notable widening, since it points the agent at the external-user product rather than internal tools.
◆ Prediction
Every surface except data connection has now been handed to the agent; connecting and mapping an external source — the step still done manually before any of this works — is the remaining gap, and the spreadsheet uploader is the first move toward closing it.
Wazuh
5.0INFRA · APIS
Wazuh hardens its 4.14 line while 5.0 rebuilds how agents talk to the manager.
◆ Current state
Wazuh ships 4.14 patch releases roughly every two to three weeks, and almost all of the content is security hardening: path traversal and command injection fixes, input validation in the cluster code, connection deadlines and memory leak fixes. 4.14.10 also added memory limits for oversized rulesets and queue warnings for the vulnerability scanner. In parallel, 5.0.0 reached its second release candidate on October 30.
◆ Where it's heading
5.0 is the real change: agents move to HTTPS for talking to the manager, a new detection engine replaces the 4.x analysis daemon, and every server install becomes a cluster node. The 4.14 branch, meanwhile, reads like a security audit being worked through release by release, which keeps current installs safe while 5.0 settles.
◆ Prediction
More 5.0 release candidates are likely before a final release, and 4.14 patch releases with security fixes should keep coming every few weeks; a 5.0 GA date is not stated in these entries.
