Compare database, language, and operating system release cycles and published end-of-life dates.

Observations

Key findings compiled across 13 developer runtimes, database engines, and operating systems. Data filters below apply to records table exploration.

50 of 297 release cycles remain actively maintained (16.8%). Across 13 major runtime, database, and infrastructure ecosystems, 247 historical release branches have reached their end-of-life cutoff. Long-lived projects with decade-spanning histories naturally accumulate more retired cycles.
22 maintained releases reach end of life over the next 24 months, with 7 cutoffs within the immediate 180 days. High-impact impending milestones include Kubernetes 1.34 in late October 2026, Python 3.10 on October 31, 2026, PostgreSQL 14 on November 12, 2026, Redis 8.0 on December 1, 2026, and PHP 8.2 on December 31, 2026. Upstream security patches cease after these dates.
Guaranteed maintenance commitments span from 5.0 years down to 1.0 year across platforms. PostgreSQL, Ubuntu LTS, Debian, MariaDB LTS, MySQL LTS, and Python guarantee 5 full years of maintenance. Conversely, Node.js provides 30 months of LTS, while fast-moving ecosystems like Kubernetes (14 months) and Go (12 months) mandate continuous annual upgrade cycles.

UPSTREAM MAINTENANCE COMMITMENTS

Official Support Window Duration by Platform

Official upstream LTS and standard maintenance commitment in years per release cycle. Enterprise databases and Linux distributions guarantee up to 5.0 years, whereas cloud-native runtimes mandate faster upgrade cycles.

About the data

This dataset aggregates official release dates, active maintenance cycles, and verified end-of-life dates across 13 open source software platforms essential to modern digital infrastructure. Each record corresponds to a specific major or minor release branch published by upstream core maintainers.

What does the data show?

The data shows that 83.2% of all historical release cycles listed across these 13 platforms have concluded their official maintenance lifecycles. Only 50 release cycles remain supported with active bugfixes or security backports. In the immediate 180-day window following September 2026, several widely deployed workhorse releases reach final retirement, including Python 3.10 (powering thousands of production microservices) and PostgreSQL 14 (serving as the primary datastore for high-volume applications). The data also highlights structural differences in project maintenance commitments: relational databases offer 5-year support windows, whereas container runtimes such as Kubernetes deprecate versions within 14 months.

Who should care, and why?

Site Reliability Engineers, infrastructure architects, DevOps leads, and enterprise security auditors must closely track these deadlines. Operating software past its end-of-life date exposes organizations to unpatched Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and violates major compliance frameworks including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS requirement 6.2, and FedRAMP controls. Security scanners (e.g. Trivy, Wiz, Prisma Cloud) flag unmaintained packages as high or critical severity findings during compliance audits.

How should readers use this information?

Readers should map their internal software inventory against the verified end-of-life dates to build migration roadmaps at least 6 months prior to upstream deprecation.

Worked Example: Upgrading from PostgreSQL 14

An engineering team running PostgreSQL 14 in production discovers in this registry that support ends on November 12, 2026. Step 1: Filter the records below by Product: PostgreSQL to inspect active target releases (PostgreSQL 15, 16, 17, and 18). Step 2: Review extension compatibility (such as PostGIS, pgvector, or timescaledb) against target release PostgreSQL 17. Step 3: Schedule a staging rehearsed upgrade using pg_upgrade --link to verify schema migrations and performance characteristics. Step 4: Execute production cutover before the November cutoff to guarantee uninterrupted security patches.

What remains unknown?

This public dataset reflects community open-source support timelines. Commercial operating system vendors and cloud distributors (such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Canonical Ubuntu Pro, AWS Aurora, and Google Cloud SQL) frequently provide proprietary Extended Security Maintenance (ESM) contracts for retired versions. Readers relying on cloud-managed versions must verify vendor-specific extended maintenance add-ons directly with their cloud provider.

Possible explanations

Hypothesis: API Stability Requirements Dictate Database Support Windows

Relational databases such as PostgreSQL and MariaDB maintain rigorous 5-year support windows because schema migrations, storage engine alterations, and disk format changes involve substantial operational friction for enterprise users. Breaking changes require complex data replication and backup rehearsal, necessitating long-term predictability.

Hypothesis: Cloud Native Velocity Demands Short Release Windows

Fast-moving orchestrators such as Kubernetes maintain rapid 14-month support cycles (spanning three releases annually). Because Kubernetes operates in dynamic, containerized environments where node rotation is automated, upstream maintainers prioritize rapid API evolution and deprecation of legacy alpha/beta specifications over multi-year backports.

Hypothesis: Two-Tier Security Windows Balance Maintainer Fatigue

Languages like Python and PHP utilize a dual-stage support model: 18 to 24 months of general bugfixes, followed by several years of strictly critical security-only fixes. This structure shields volunteer maintainers from backporting cosmetic changes across multiple branches while preserving long-term security guarantees for downstream package ecosystems.
