Long-term support (LTS) releases are built for stability and peace of mind. Here’s why upgrading today is the smarter move:

• AI at your fingertips: Mendix 10.24 brings Maia, our AI assistant, into your daily work making development faster, smarter, and a whole lot easier.
• All the good stuff, without the wait: Performance boosts, governance improvements, and workflow enhancements are all here now so you can take full advantage even as Mendix 11 gains traction.
• A smoother path to 11: Customers on Mendix 9 will need to upgrade to 10 before moving to 11. By upgrading now, you avoid a rushed, two-step process and give your team room to breathe.
• Security and support you can trust: Staying current protects your apps and your users—no sleepless nights worrying about vulnerabilities or outdated modules.

We want you to feel ready and supported even while the spotlight is on Mendix 11.

What’s new in Mendix 10 vs. 9: Highlights we love

If you’re moving up from Mendix 9, now’s the perfect moment to take stock. Support for Mendix 9 ends June 2027 and upgrading sooner means you’ll have plenty of runway to plan, test, and take advantage of the improvements in Mendix 10 before shifting to 11. Here are a few upgrades that will make an immediate difference:

• A modern, streamlined Studio Pro UI that’s easier on the eyes and simpler to navigate.
• Native Mac beta support, giving your team more flexibility to develop on their preferred devices.
• Maia AI assistance built right into Studio Pro: Generate domain models, explain logic, translate your app, or get next-step suggestions without breaking your flow.
• Mendix Agents Kit combines smart app components with new AI Agent Builder features, making it easy to design, test, and deploy agentic AI applications.
• Improved multilingual support makes it effortless to manage translations. Export and import all languages in one go, whether as a single Excel file or standard PO files.
• Upgraded security and governance features like Strict Mode, the new Security Overview, and tracing via OpenTelemetry, giving you greater control and peace of mind.

These aren’t just quality-of-life improvements, they’re about helping your team work faster, smarter, and more securely as you build the apps your business needs.

Compass and Maturity Assessments: Your guide to growing with Mendix

Compass provides guidance for every step of your Mendix and digital transformation journey—from building your first app to scaling your portfolio. It gives Mendix program owners and transformation managers a clear visual interface to track progress and milestones, helping teams stay aligned and focused.

With the new Structure phase, Compass goes beyond the Start phase to help your team build a solid foundation for low-code growth. This stage begins with a baseline Maturity Assessment, our diagnostic tool that evaluates your organization across five key pillars: People, Platform, Portfolio, Process, and Promotion. Based on the results, Compass delivers tailored recommendations so you can level up in the areas that need improvement.
Here’s how the latest features support your growth:

• Tailored Guidance: Receive actionable tasks and recommendations aligned with your organization’s unique context and goals.
• Flexible Growth: Whether you’re building a handful of apps or scaling to hundreds, Compass adapts to your pace and priorities.
• Visibility and Alignment: Keep your team on the same page with a clear visual roadmap, so everyone—from developers to program owners—can see progress and next steps.

Think of Compass as your growth coach, helping your team move confidently from initial ideas to scaled success.

Staying current = staying competitive

Delaying upgrades might feel easier now, but it can create bigger headaches later. Here’s the trade-off:

Upgrading on your own schedule—not in a panic—means you keep building great things instead of firefighting old systems.
