The similarity between Otto and Waypoint are only skin deep: they both use the word "deploy." The way they deploy, their philosophies, etc. are COMPLETELY different. I talk about that in this comment a bit here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24790491 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24790491
Waypoint is fully open source. There is no risk of it going closed source. If you are alluding to Otto here, Otto's source was never removed either, it is in the Git history of the project that's still on GitHub and we provided a one-click download link on the Otto website when we shut it down.
EDIT to add: If you're afraid of us shutting down projects, please note Otto is the only project in our entire history we shut down like that. So we don't (or shouldn't!) have the same reputation around that that Google has. Terraform was effectively failing (no growth) for almost 12 months and we stayed committed to that.
- paulryanrogers 6y agoThe concern here is probably more that they become effectively dead without vendor support. While some projects escape that fate they seem to be rare.
