OpenObserve vs Stitch: at a glance
What is OpenObserve?
OpenObserve 1.2.0-rc2 is a long fix list that closes a cross-tenant write gap.
OpenObserve opened its 1.2 cycle with rc1, led by metrics v2: alerts created from charts, comparisons, forecasts, formulas and Prometheus 3.x functions. rc2 is a large batch of fixes across the new surfaces, including blocking cross-tenant writes through function updates and remote destinations, scoping service graphs and alert lists to what a user may read, and polish for an On-Call module now tagged beta. Fleet, RUM, Kubernetes and synthetics views also got fixes.
What is Stitch?
Stitch's November opens the way October ran: one connector fix at a time.
Stitch's recent output is connector maintenance: replication fixes, a Microsoft Advertising move from SOAP to REST, security-driven dependency bumps and SSRF hardening. November so far adds per-contact email activity syncing to the ActiveCampaign connector and a library bump in Harvest. No platform-level change appears in the window.
OpenObserve vs Stitch: editorial side-by-side
OpenObserve
5.0ANALYTICS
OpenObserve 1.2.0-rc2 is a long fix list that closes a cross-tenant write gap.
◆ Current state
OpenObserve opened its 1.2 cycle with rc1, led by metrics v2: alerts created from charts, comparisons, forecasts, formulas and Prometheus 3.x functions. rc2 is a large batch of fixes across the new surfaces, including blocking cross-tenant writes through function updates and remote destinations, scoping service graphs and alert lists to what a user may read, and polish for an On-Call module now tagged beta. Fleet, RUM, Kubernetes and synthetics views also got fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
The 1.2 cycle is wider than metrics: rc2's fixes reveal on-call scheduling, fleet management, RUM, synthetics and incident root-cause features heading into the release. Several fixes tighten tenant and permission boundaries, which suggests multi-tenant and enterprise deployments are a priority before 1.2 goes stable.
◆ Prediction
Expect one more release candidate or a 1.2.0 stable soon, followed by 1.2.x backport patches as the 1.1 line had.
Stitch
5.0ANALYTICS
Stitch's November opens the way October ran: one connector fix at a time.
◆ Current state
Stitch's recent output is connector maintenance: replication fixes, a Microsoft Advertising move from SOAP to REST, security-driven dependency bumps and SSRF hardening. November so far adds per-contact email activity syncing to the ActiveCampaign connector and a library bump in Harvest. No platform-level change appears in the window.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is in upkeep mode, keeping existing connectors aligned with source APIs and security scans. Additions are small schema extensions rather than new sources or features.
◆ Prediction
More single-connector fixes and dependency bumps are the likely next entries; nothing in the entries points to a platform change.
