Weaveworks (company)

Weaveworks is a developer of a platform that provides a delivery pipeline for building and operating applications. The company's platform offers a portable and resilient way to network, visualize, and interact with applications in real time and manage containers and microservices. It minimizes the complexity of operating workloads in Kubernetes through automated, continuous delivery pipelines, observability, and monitoring from laptops and public clouds across development, test, and production environments.

Founded in 2014 by Alexis Richardson and Matthias Radestock, Weaveworks is a founding member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and is a creator and contributor to several open-source projects, including Weave Scope, Weave Net, Cortex, Flux, Flagger, and eksctl.

Weave GitOps is a free and open-source continuous delivery platform allowing users to run apps in any Kubernetes container. The platform is powered by Flux, which Weaveworks developed and has since donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Weave GitOps allows users to collaborate with team members and make new deployments. Weave GitOps also offers a single source of truth for all Git workflows, allowing users to continuously reconcile the desired state of their applications stored in Git and running in Kubernetes. A change in Git can be applied to Kubernetes through the platform, and any change applied to Kubernetes can be automatically reverted back to the desired state. This is to eliminate configuration drift.

The Weave GitOps Enterprise is a continuous operations product developed to help users deploy and manage enterprise Kubernetes clusters and applications at scale and in any environment. The platform offers a single dashboard for management and automation, offering trusted application delivery and help to secure infrastructure operations on-premise, in the cloud, and on the edge. The Weave GitOps dashboard offers a single place for the management of multiple clusters across multiple public cloud providers and creates new clusters or attaches existing ones while continuously observing cluster health status, managing the application lifecycle, and observing deployment status. For teams, the platform offers workspaces for multi-tenancy to allow DevOps teams to work together with full role-based access control.
