Apache Cloudberry vs Plotly: at a glance
What is Apache Cloudberry?
An MPP warehouse fork grinding through ASF incubation, one release candidate at a time
Apache Cloudberry is a Greenplum-derived MPP data warehouse working through Apache incubation. Its release feed is procedural rather than editorial: each version ships as a tag with download links, checksum instructions and a contributor roll, while the actual changelog lives off-site on cloudberry.apache.org. The 2.1.0-incubating release in May 2026 is the most recent general release, preceded by two release candidates.
What is Plotly?
Plotly is turning its cloud into a metered compute platform with an enterprise on-ramp.
Plotly ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.86 on credential handling, reasoning transparency, personalization and now the reliability of the agent session engine itself. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.

An MPP warehouse fork grinding through ASF incubation, one release candidate at a time
◆ Current state
Apache Cloudberry is a Greenplum-derived MPP data warehouse working through Apache incubation. Its release feed is procedural rather than editorial: each version ships as a tag with download links, checksum instructions and a contributor roll, while the actual changelog lives off-site on cloudberry.apache.org. The 2.1.0-incubating release in May 2026 is the most recent general release, preceded by two release candidates.
◆ Where it's heading
The cadence has shifted from the 2024 weekly-build era to a slower, more formal release train: two or three release candidates, then a general release roughly every eight months. That is the shape of a project optimizing for ASF graduation criteria — reproducible builds, signed artifacts, documented voting — rather than for feature velocity. The contributor list is broad and stable across releases, which suggests a real multi-vendor community rather than a single-sponsor project.
◆ Prediction
Expect a 2.2.0 release-candidate series to open on a similar multi-month cycle. Whether the project exits incubation in that window is not something these release notes indicate either way.
Plotly
6.3ANALYTICS
Plotly is turning its cloud into a metered compute platform with an enterprise on-ramp.
◆ Current state
Plotly ships on two tracks. Plotly Studio, the desktop AI app-builder, releases every one to two weeks and has spent v0.0.80 through v0.0.86 on credential handling, reasoning transparency, personalization and now the reliability of the agent session engine itself. Plotly Cloud is the louder track: since late May it has added viewer-seat pricing, domain verification, per-app compute modes with credit-metered billing, and customer-owned domains with managed TLS.
◆ Where it's heading
The Cloud releases are assembling the standard pieces of a hosting business in order — identity first (domain verification, explicitly framed as the step before SSO), then billing (viewer seats, then metered compute credits), and now production-grade serving (custom domains, automatic certificate renewal). Studio is being hardened as the authoring front end that feeds it: Universal Deployment pushed beyond Dash apps, credentials saved once and reused, a Winget channel to widen Windows installs, and in v0.0.86 a rebuilt session engine plus automatic retries so agent runs survive expired tokens. The two tracks converge on one funnel — author in Studio, deploy to Cloud, pay by compute consumed.
◆ Prediction
The Domain Verification entry names SSO as the next step and places it in the Enterprise tier, so single sign-on is the most likely Cloud release next. Studio should hold its one-to-two-week cadence, with the newly added app thumbnails pointing toward more work on browsing and organizing generated apps.
