Grafana Mimir vs sivirep: at a glance
What is Grafana Mimir?
Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.
What is sivirep?
sivirep turned Colombia's SIVIGILA surveillance data into a one-call reporting package.
The 1.0.0 release of December 2024 is the substance of this feed: incidence calculation and plotting for the country, departments and municipalities, ethnicity and case-classification breakdowns, multi-year retrospectives, and a Reporte Evento template that assembles them. It was shaped by usability testing and expert review with Colombia's National Institute of Health. The two patches since are fixes, warnings and documentation.

Mimir's feed is a weekly Helm bot, with the 3.2 candidate the only real release in months
◆ Current state
The visible cadence is an automated weekly Helm chart release opened by a bot with a two-line body, now at 6.3.0-weekly.408. The only substantive entry in the window is the 3.2.0 release candidate from early August, which carried query engine work and native histogram support.
◆ Where it's heading
Packaging and the engine move on separate clocks: the chart ships weekly regardless of whether anything changed underneath, while Mimir itself cuts a minor roughly monthly. The weekly stream tells you nothing about direction and will keep dominating the feed by volume.
◆ Prediction
The chart line moving from 6.2.0-weekly to 6.3.0-weekly points at a 6.3.0 chart release carrying Mimir 3.2 once the candidate goes final.

0.0ANALYTICS
sivirep turned Colombia's SIVIGILA surveillance data into a one-call reporting package.
◆ Current state
The 1.0.0 release of December 2024 is the substance of this feed: incidence calculation and plotting for the country, departments and municipalities, ethnicity and case-classification breakdowns, multi-year retrospectives, and a Reporte Evento template that assembles them. It was shaped by usability testing and expert review with Colombia's National Institute of Health. The two patches since are fixes, warnings and documentation.
◆ Where it's heading
Work after 1.0.0 has gone into making the report template survive bad input rather than adding analyses — warnings when a municipality or department has no data, handlers that surface import and geo-filter errors during rendering, and an explicit note that first use of any import function needs an internet connection. English-language articles were added alongside the Spanish function interface.
◆ Prediction
Spanish-named functions paired with new English articles point at a widening audience; more translation of the guides looks likelier than new epidemiological methods.
