Weaveworks Is Shuting Down

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • weave

    Simple, resilient multi-host containers networking and more.

  • Despite having been the main maintainer of Weave Net for ~4 years, I have no idea what you are talking about. Weave Net used Google's NaCL library from day 1; later adding optional AES using the in-kernel implementation.

  • flux2

    Open and extensible continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes. Powered by GitOps Toolkit.

  • Your GitHub action can trigger a helm chart, or series thereof, or other infra tools. Declarative specifications, triggered procedurally with the context of the branch’s latest build. We use this pattern quite extensively for preview app workflows.

    As of a year ago this is possible in a fully declarative way with Flux 2, but there’s a lot more moving parts and security footguns - and the idea that the maintenance of this project has lost one of its primary sponsors is worrying at best.

  • Right. Flux was a handy little tool[1] that sync'd yaml manifests in git repos to live clusters. The concept was fascinating, and the tool was well done--small and efficient. Easy to learn.

    In 2019, they announced they'd be "merging" with argocd[2]. It seems the merge never really took place, and after that they deprecated flux and announced flux2[3].

    The sudden changes of course were a little confusing and perhaps not too well communicated.
