Corteza

CRM
Velocity0.0

Open-source low-code platform with CRM and business apps

Corteza is in maintenance mode: patching its workflow engine's memory use, nothing new on top.

low-code crmworkflow enginememory usagemaintenance releasesopen source
◆Current state
Corteza's feed is a patch train on the 2024.9 line, which is now at 2024.9.10 after three months of silence following 2024.9.9. The only readable changes fix workflow sessions that kept a copy of their scope for every executed step and skip scope snapshots for steps nobody will inspect. That is memory hygiene for long-running automations, not new CRM capability.
◆Where it's heading
The release cadence is slow and the branch name has not moved past 2024.9, so the project is stabilizing an existing platform rather than extending it. The recent fixes cluster in the workflow engine, which suggests users are running larger or longer automations and hitting resource ceilings.
◆Prediction
Expect further 2024.9.x patches aimed at workflow execution cost; the entries give no sign of a new major line, and when one might arrive is unclear.

    Corteza 2024.9.10 cuts workflow session memory use

    The final 2024.9.10 release ships the two workflow-memory fixes tested in its release candidates. For teams running heavy automations it cuts per-session memory growth, which is the only visible direction of work on this branch.

    RC4: skip workflow scope snapshots for uninspected steps

    A release candidate that skips scope snapshots for workflow steps that will never be inspected. It is an internal optimization that lands in 2024.9.10 proper.

    RC3: fix workflow sessions copying scope on every step

    A release candidate fixing workflow sessions that kept a scope copy for every step they executed. This is the root memory leak that the 2024.9.10 release addresses.

    Corteza 2024.9.9 maintenance release

    A point release on the 2024.9 line whose feed entry only links to external notes. It fits the pattern of low-frequency maintenance drops rather than feature work.
