What is Tigris?
Tigris keeps publishing its architecture, and the newest post opens up the storage engine itself.
This feed is Tigris's engineering blog, and it alternates between protocol critique and descriptions of how the product answers it. The most recent post opens the internals: how Tigris composes ACID metadata, global placement, caching, replication, and background work on FoundationDB into a multi-region object store. Before it came the Recycle Bin — deletion of objects and buckets on top of immutable storage in an active-active geo-replicated database — plus two posts dissecting SigV4 and presigned URLs, and one on agent-native onboarding through tigris init --agent.
What is WeWeb?
WeWeb ships a rebuilt AI builder that uses fewer tokens and shows each step as it works.
WeWeb publishes a weekly release that pairs AI-builder changes with new integrations. In the past month it added AI app testing, scheduled backend tasks, category-wide AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and editable HTML imports. The October 21 release replaces the AI builder with one that WeWeb says builds better on fewer tokens and shows its steps, and adds visual previews for every design-system style.
Tigris vs WeWeb: editorial side-by-side
Tigris
5.0DEVOPS
Tigris keeps publishing its architecture, and the newest post opens up the storage engine itself.
◆ Current state
This feed is Tigris's engineering blog, and it alternates between protocol critique and descriptions of how the product answers it. The most recent post opens the internals: how Tigris composes ACID metadata, global placement, caching, replication, and background work on FoundationDB into a multi-region object store. Before it came the Recycle Bin — deletion of objects and buckets on top of immutable storage in an active-active geo-replicated database — plus two posts dissecting SigV4 and presigned URLs, and one on agent-native onboarding through tigris init --agent.
◆ Where it's heading
The writing is doing product work. Each protocol post establishes a problem — SigV4's canonicalization and clock skew, presigned URLs as deliberate replay attacks, S3 egress pricing on ClickHouse restores — and positions Tigris behavior as the answer, which makes the blog a migration funnel rather than a changelog. The architecture post is a different move: publishing the FoundationDB composition is a credibility play aimed at buyers who need to believe a newer object store can hold multi-region data.
◆ Prediction
Expect the protocol-critique-then-Tigris-answer format to continue, with the egress-cost framing recurring as the clearest paid migration path. Feature announcements will likely stay embedded in essays rather than appearing as release notes.
WeWeb
6.3DEVOPS
WeWeb ships a rebuilt AI builder that uses fewer tokens and shows each step as it works.
◆ Current state
WeWeb publishes a weekly release that pairs AI-builder changes with new integrations. In the past month it added AI app testing, scheduled backend tasks, category-wide AI guardrails, a redesigned dashboard and editable HTML imports. The October 21 release replaces the AI builder with one that WeWeb says builds better on fewer tokens and shows its steps, and adds visual previews for every design-system style.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI layer is the product's center of gravity: from thinking-level controls and locked pages in September, to self-testing on September 30, to a new builder now. Cost and transparency are the recurring themes, which fits a usage-metered AI allowance shown in September.
◆ Prediction
Expect follow-ups that tie the new AI more tightly to the design system and testing features, plus the usual weekly integrations. The entry gives no numbers on token savings, so the size of the efficiency gain is unclear.
