What is Depot?
Depot is closing the last gaps between its CI and the GitHub Actions it wants to replace
Depot CI keeps absorbing the things a team would otherwise stay on GitHub-hosted runners for: Arm64 sandboxes up to 64 CPUs, native stacked pull request handling, macOS 26 on M4 hardware, rebuilt Windows Server images carrying Visual Studio 2026, and a us-east-1 Ubuntu package mirror. Behavior details are being tuned too — pull request runs no longer cancel on a new commit unless a concurrency group says so. The newest release moves Datadog CI Visibility out of private beta, exporting every run as a pipeline with jobs, steps, and retries intact.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

◆ Current state
Depot CI keeps absorbing the things a team would otherwise stay on GitHub-hosted runners for: Arm64 sandboxes up to 64 CPUs, native stacked pull request handling, macOS 26 on M4 hardware, rebuilt Windows Server images carrying Visual Studio 2026, and a us-east-1 Ubuntu package mirror. Behavior details are being tuned too — pull request runs no longer cancel on a new commit unless a concurrency group says so. The newest release moves Datadog CI Visibility out of private beta, exporting every run as a pipeline with jobs, steps, and retries intact.
◆ Where it's heading
The strategy is substitution rather than differentiation: match the incumbent's compatibility surface, beat it on hardware and cache, then let existing tooling see Depot as just another pipeline. Datadog export is the clearest expression of that — it makes Depot legible to the monitoring a team already runs instead of asking them to adopt a new dashboard. The CLI work on project get, update, and cache retention points the same way, toward scripts and agents managing Depot without the UI.
◆ Prediction
Expect the us-east-1 package mirror to expand to other regions, and the observability work to extend past Datadog to other OpenTelemetry-compatible destinations.
ToolJet
5.0INFRA · APIS
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
◆ Current state
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
