Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-09-30

Consider Polaris for production after validating persistence, security and engine integrations for your deployment.

Why
A managed-service operator reports production use, while historical operational tests show that metadata scale and database indexes materially affect reliability.
Next
Use a release containing the 1.8.0 security fix, apply required schema changes, and test representative catalog load, credential boundaries, backup and recovery.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Affected deployments before 1.8.0 can expose authentication material through storage-endpoint redirection.
  • Existing database deployments require manual schema and index migrations.
  • Catalog latency depends on metadata scale and database indexing.
  • Durable persistence, backups and recovery require operational configuration.
  • Independent validation of newly released 1.8.0 remains limited.
