CockroachDB vs Redocly: at a glance
What is CockroachDB?
CockroachDB holds a metronomic dual-track release rhythm through v26
CockroachDB is shipping on a predictable two-track cadence: Innovation releases roughly quarterly (v26.1 Feb, v26.3 May 2026) and Regular releases anchoring long-term support twice a year (v25.2, v25.4, v26.2). The schedule has held without slippage across the 18 months of entries visible here. Release artifacts are thin — version, date, track — with detail delegated to docs.
What is Redocly?
Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.
Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.

CockroachDB holds a metronomic dual-track release rhythm through v26
◆ Current state
CockroachDB is shipping on a predictable two-track cadence: Innovation releases roughly quarterly (v26.1 Feb, v26.3 May 2026) and Regular releases anchoring long-term support twice a year (v25.2, v25.4, v26.2). The schedule has held without slippage across the 18 months of entries visible here. Release artifacts are thin — version, date, track — with detail delegated to docs.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is in steady-cadence mode rather than narrative-driven release mode. Investment is visibly going into release engineering discipline — predictable GA dates, clean dual-track support windows — not into headline features that would surface in changelogs. Innovation acts as the feature pipeline; Regular acts as the LTS anchor enterprises pin against.
◆ Prediction
v26.3 lands on the announced May/June 2026 date; a v26.4 Innovation slot opens around late summer with v27.1 Regular following the established November cadence.
Redocly

Redocly's reunite.agent gets per-duty cron schedules, rules and source repos.
◆ Current state
Redocly shipped three Reunite releases and a config release on Oct 28. The feedback and discovery duties in reunite.agent can now each run on their own UTC cron trigger, follow their own rules and read only listed source repositories. SCIM provisioning now accepts identity-provider groups of any size, where pushes over 1,000 members used to fail. @redocly/config 0.69.0 also adds per-rule impact settings for the experimental diff command.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run together: an agent inside Reunite that does recurring docs work (feedback and discovery) and is gaining scheduling and scoping controls, and enterprise plumbing such as SCIM scale, Git token rotation and permission fixes. Last week's configurable docs MCP server points the same way, with Redocly adding AI surfaces and making them configurable in redocly.yaml.
◆ Prediction
Expect more reunite.agent duty types or options in @redocly/config, and the experimental diff command moving toward a documented API-change check.
