Graphite's answer to its own CVE backlog is a pre-release nobody calls official.
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Tinybird and Apache StreamPark — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Tinybird is retiring Classic on a clock while stacking capability into Forward
Releases arrive weekly and the through-line is the migration from Classic to Forward. Classic is now scheduled for sunset on Free and Developer plans by September 15, following the BI Connector's end of life and the earlier migrate-to-forward CLI command. Forward is where capability accumulates: DynamoDB connectivity, PREWHERE, lightweight deletes in beta, arm64-native local runs and a ClickHouse bump from 25.3 to 25.8.
Five release candidates in two years, none of them stable, and none since October 2025.
StreamPark's tracked feed holds five release candidates spanning April 2024 to October 2025, and the notes are extremely thin — three of the five describe a single change each, one of them a Vue router naming bug. The most substantial entry, v2.1.7-rc1, lists four items: Maven argument validation, a license header consistency fix, a login authentication refinement and a Flink configuration file retrieval fix. No stable release appears anywhere in this record.

Two things are happening in parallel, retiring the old platform on a published schedule while making the new one worth the move. Ingestion is the current focus and it is moving quickly, with v1 going from experimental in the CLI to the default for local files inside two weeks, and integer preservation and quarantine persistence fixed around it. The updated agent skills mentioned alongside the CLI work suggest the tooling is being shaped for agents as well as people.
September 15 is the next fixed milestone, and paid tiers are the obvious follow-on though these entries stop short of committing to a date for them. Expect v1 ingestion to keep widening from local files into the remaining paths now that it is the default for one of them.

Nothing in these entries describes new capability for the stream processing platform itself. The changes cluster around build tooling, authentication and the web console — the periphery of the product rather than its Flink and Spark job management core. Combined with a cadence of roughly two releases a year and a nine-month gap since the last one, the visible signal is a project in low-activity maintenance.
The entries do not support a prediction about direction. What they do warrant is checking whether development moved somewhere this feed does not capture, since a stream processing platform with no stable releases on record is more likely a tracking gap than a complete picture.
