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.
Continuous Delivery & GitOps: A Seamless Transition with Harness
Harness recognizes the importance of Flux within the DevOps community and the void left by Weaveworks' departure. Our Continuous Delivery and GitOps module natively supports Flux, ensuring that your transition is not only smooth but familiar.

This feature supports GitOps gestures, such as Pull Request pipelines, aligning with the methodologies you've come to rely on. Our platform ensures that your infrastructure management is as dynamic and scalable as your application development.
A Future-Proof Foundation: Supporting ArgoCD alongside Flux
While Flux is expected to continue thriving under the CNCF's stewardship, concerns about its long-term viability are natural. In response, Harness also fully supports ArgoCD, offering an alternative that ensures there's no lock-in. This dual support provides peace of mind, knowing that your continuous delivery and GitOps practices have a secure and stable foundation, regardless of future developments.
