What is Tigris?
Tigris positions object storage as the substrate for AI agents, with forks and snapshots as the hook
The Tigris feed is a technical blog that mixes genuine feature launches with engineering essays and demos. Real product releases in this window — soft delete, streaming-tar bundles, expanded lifecycle rules — sit alongside deep-dive posts (objgit, Kefka, agent-shell, LangGraph agent evaluation) that showcase Tigris's fork and snapshot primitives rather than announce shipped features.
What is Sanity?
Sanity keeps hardening its agent tooling and Media Library while Studio sheds legacy weight
Sanity is shipping across four surfaces in parallel: the Media Library, Sanity Studio, the React App SDK, and its MCP server. The Media Library is maturing into a full asset manager, richer metadata across sidebars, in-use references that now span drafts and content releases, and video versioning. Studio is cleaning up legacy Portable Text editor internals, and the SDK and MCP server keep gaining developer- and agent-facing hooks.
Tigris vs Sanity: editorial side-by-side
Tigris
6.3DEVOPS
Tigris positions object storage as the substrate for AI agents, with forks and snapshots as the hook
◆ Current state
The Tigris feed is a technical blog that mixes genuine feature launches with engineering essays and demos. Real product releases in this window — soft delete, streaming-tar bundles, expanded lifecycle rules — sit alongside deep-dive posts (objgit, Kefka, agent-shell, LangGraph agent evaluation) that showcase Tigris's fork and snapshot primitives rather than announce shipped features.
◆ Where it's heading
Tigris is bending an S3-compatible object store toward AI-agent workloads: per-tenant bucket forks, copy-on-write disposable environments, and snapshotting recur across both its releases and its demos. The through-line is making storage cheap to fork and roll back so each agent or tenant gets an isolated, reversible workspace — with a provider-agnostic SDK aiming to carry that model beyond Tigris itself.
◆ Prediction
Expect Tigris to keep hardening data-protection primitives (soft delete, lifecycle, snapshots) and to lean further into agent-oriented tooling built on bucket forks; the provider-agnostic SDK is the move to watch for reach beyond its own store.
Sanity
5.0DEVOPS
Sanity keeps hardening its agent tooling and Media Library while Studio sheds legacy weight
◆ Current state
Sanity is shipping across four surfaces in parallel: the Media Library, Sanity Studio, the React App SDK, and its MCP server. The Media Library is maturing into a full asset manager, richer metadata across sidebars, in-use references that now span drafts and content releases, and video versioning. Studio is cleaning up legacy Portable Text editor internals, and the SDK and MCP server keep gaining developer- and agent-facing hooks.
◆ Where it's heading
The through-line is AI-agent readiness: a new skills install command, MCP server tools for feedback, schema deploy, and multi-document patching, plus docs aimed explicitly at coding agents and app builders. Alongside that, the content layer itself is being productized, @sanity/presets ships ready-made schema types to cut modelling boilerplate. Sanity is positioning as the content backend that both humans and agents operate.
◆ Prediction
Expect further MCP server and skills iteration plus continued Media Library depth; the removal of legacy Portable Text data attributes signals more editor-internals migrations to come.
