One of the most common questions in the Alfresco ecosystem is simple:
- Which version of ACS works with this version of Search?
- Can I use this module with Java 21?
- Which database or browser combinations are supported?
- What versions of ACA, ADF, Share or Transform Service are compatible?
Historically, this information has been spread across documentation pages, release notes, support matrices and GitHub repositories. While official documentation already provides supported platform information for many products, navigating all those sources can sometimes be time-consuming.
To help simplify that experience, the community has created the Alfresco Compatibility Matrix.
What is the Alfresco Compatibility Matrix?
The Alfresco Compatibility Matrix is a community-driven web application that centralizes compatibility information across the Alfresco ecosystem in a single searchable interface.
The goal is straightforward:
- Provide a quick way to validate version compatibility
- Reduce deployment and upgrade uncertainty
- Help developers, architects and administrators design supported stacks
- Offer a cleaner navigation experience compared to manually checking multiple documentation pages
Simple and lightweight
The project follows the same philosophy as other community-driven initiatives from the AlfrescoLabs organization:
- Static website
- No backend infrastructure
- Easy contribution model
- GitHub-based collaboration
- Fast iteration cycle
If you are already familiar with the Alfresco Addons Catalog, the overall approach will feel very familiar.
Open Source and community-driven
The full source code for the project is available on GitHub:

Contributions are highly encouraged.
If you notice missing compatibility information, outdated combinations, incorrect mappings or new platform support details, you can help improve the matrix by submitting issues or pull requests.
