What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-10-29

Proceed with caution

Why
2.0 is a GA LTS (support to at least Oct 2027) with a clear migration path (2.0 still reads and writes existing files, which stay readable by older versions), and the headline additions (Quack server mode, VARIANT, triggers, async object-storage I/O) are real capability expansions, with self-reported community anecdotes of scaling to roughly 128-192 vCPUs and compressing 7 TB of logs to Parquet. Against that, the new storage format is one-way for newly created files, the first patch release is still pending, and Quack is young (previewed May 2026, localhost-only by default with a reverse proxy recommended for remote access, client support described by one commenter as very limited).
Next
Run a shadow-system test of 2.0.0 against real workloads (including the one-way storage format), consider waiting for the first patch release due in November before production, and pilot Quack behind a TLS reverse proxy before any multi-user exposure.
