Weaveworks

Weaveworks was the cloud-native company that coined the term "GitOps" and built the Weave family of open-source infrastructure tooling — Weave Net (multi-host container networking), Weave Scope (Docker/Kubernetes visualization and monitoring), Weave GitOps, and the widely used eksctl CLI for Amazon EKS. Backed by Accel and GV, the company ceased commercial operations in February 2024 after a planned acquisition fell through. It shipped no hosted REST API or client SDKs; its public surface was open-source Go tooling. Following the shutdown, Flux CD moved to the CNCF (graduated), eksctl transferred to the eksctl-io org jointly maintained with AWS, and the remaining Weave repositories became community-driven under the github.com/weaveworks organization. The former company website (weave.works) has lapsed and now redirects to a parked page.

Weaveworks is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Developer Tools, GitOps, Kubernetes, and Container Networking.

Weaveworks’ developer surface includes documentation, CLI, and 5 more developer resources.
