In their own words
Wayfinder
Wayfinder is an agentic software development lifecycle platform that runs in a customer's own cloud. Teams can deploy applications to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or Kubernetes from a wayfinder.yaml file using wf up. Its agents can generate Cloud Resource Plans, create Stack Definitions from a repository, run AI deployments, and answer users through chat, the CLI, or an IDE. Plans are checked in the customer's cloud account against its policies before catalogue publication. Wayfinder describes per-workload OIDC federation for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud without static cloud keys at runtime, along with hierarchical role-based access, SSO, workspace-scoped tokens, and an exportable audit stream that includes agent actions. Secret storage uses envelope encryption through AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or local encryption for self-hosted deployments. Integrations include cloud and Kubernetes services, Terraform, OpenTofu, Helm, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini. A free plan provides one production Kubernetes cluster and one seat. Starter costs £399/mo; Professional costs £2,499/mo. Enterprise pricing is custom and has an annual contract. Appvia is identified as the maker.
