Spec score 7.3 #20 of 29 in Progressive Delivery Software

What it is

Weave GitOps extends Flux with deployment insights and tools for continuous delivery across teams. Its dashboard lets operators inspect application lifecycles, detect drift, check cluster health, roll back changes, and monitor operations. Both Open Source and Enterprise require a running Kubernetes cluster. The free Open Source edition includes a GitOps CLI for macOS and Linux. Enterprise adds deployment across multiple clusters in cloud and hybrid environments using Git and Cluster API. It supports canary, blue/green, and A/B rollouts, with success and rollback criteria based on metrics from Prometheus, Datadog, or New Relic. Enterprise also offers policy-as-code checks at commit, build, deploy, and runtime stages, plus team workspaces, multi-tenancy, role-based access, and enterprise identity integration. OIDC login and Kubernetes RBAC govern access. Infrastructure integrations include Terraform, Crossplane, and any Cluster API provider. Enterprise advertises critical 24/7 support for workloads and requires an entitlement from Weaveworks. The Open Source installation guide notes that dashboard login sessions are not persisted when scaling to multiple replicas.
