Harnessing a New Future: A Safe Haven for Weaveworks Customers

The recent news of Weaveworks, a pioneer in the GitOps space, closing its doors marks a somber moment in the tech community. As the largest commercial backer of the CNCF Flux project, Weaveworks not only contributed significantly to the cloud-native ecosystem but also provided a robust set of tools enhancing Flux's capabilities.

For many of Weaveworks' customers, this period is fraught with uncertainty. The quest for a seamless transition and a reliable platform to continue their cloud-native journey is more pressing than ever. At Harness, extend our hand, not just as an alternative but as a partner ready to navigate the future with you.

Our platform ensures that your infrastructure management is as dynamic and scalable as your application development.

A Future-Proof Foundation: Supporting ArgoCD alongside Flux
