NetBird vs Terragrunt
A side-by-side editorial comparison of NetBird and Terragrunt — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
NetBird vs Terragrunt: at a glance
What is NetBird?
NetBird's second v0.82 candidate keeps the MySQL removal and deprecates Rosenpass.
NetBird is preparing v0.82 as a breaking release for self-hosters. Both candidates remove MySQL, require a migration to PostgreSQL, and move reverse-proxy access logs to their own store. rc.2 adds a Rosenpass deprecation notice with a replacement said to be in final testing, and tightens the SSH server: the root-login setting now applies to uid 0, and path-bearing locale, TERM and TZ values from clients are refused.
What is Terragrunt?
Terragrunt graduated six experiments at once and has spent three candidates stabilising them
Terragrunt is running the v1.1.0 release-candidate cycle, now at rc3. The first candidate completed six experiments simultaneously — stack-dependencies, a content-addressable store, a catalog redesign, mark-many-as-read, opt-out-auth and DAG queue display. The two candidates since have added only bug fixes for those features plus improvements to how releases are published and verified.

NetBird
5.0INFRA · APIS
NetBird's second v0.82 candidate keeps the MySQL removal and deprecates Rosenpass.
◆ Current state
NetBird is preparing v0.82 as a breaking release for self-hosters. Both candidates remove MySQL, require a migration to PostgreSQL, and move reverse-proxy access logs to their own store. rc.2 adds a Rosenpass deprecation notice with a replacement said to be in final testing, and tightens the SSH server: the root-login setting now applies to uid 0, and path-bearing locale, TERM and TZ values from clients are refused.
◆ Where it's heading
After v0.81 focused on device trust through certificate posture checks, v0.82 is about the management plane's storage and on hardening the built-in SSH server. Deprecating Rosenpass signals a change in how NetBird approaches post-quantum key exchange, though the entries do not name the replacement.
◆ Prediction
Expect v0.82.0 final with the MySQL removal intact, and a later release introducing the Rosenpass replacement.
Terragrunt
0.0INFRA · APIS
Terragrunt graduated six experiments at once and has spent three candidates stabilising them
◆ Current state
Terragrunt is running the v1.1.0 release-candidate cycle, now at rc3. The first candidate completed six experiments simultaneously — stack-dependencies, a content-addressable store, a catalog redesign, mark-many-as-read, opt-out-auth and DAG queue display. The two candidates since have added only bug fixes for those features plus improvements to how releases are published and verified.
◆ Where it's heading
The experiment-graduation model is doing what it is supposed to: features developed behind flags land together in one minor, and the candidate cycle is purely stabilisation. The release-publishing and verification work appearing in rc2 suggests supply-chain provenance is being treated as release-blocking rather than as a follow-up.
◆ Prediction
With three candidates carrying identical feature lists, v1.1.0 final is the likely next release, followed by a fresh batch of experiments opening for v1.2.
