Can someone please explain what this company actually did? I’m not a cloud person per se, but I find it strange that I’ve never heard of them given the overwhelming number of people here who are familiar.
- bboreham 3y agoOutside of the Containers / Cloud Native world, not much. But they were the 10th-biggest contributor to Kubernetes as of 2020, which for a ~50-person company is something. Weaveworks created “GitOps” as a buzzword. Weaveworks created and/or substantially funded these Open Source projects: - FluxCD - Cortex (scalable Prometheus) - Weave Net - Weave Scope (seen in 2023 KubeCon keynote) - EKSctl - Kubeadm - Kspan Plus many others.

- bboreham 3y agoThe first monetization strategy was a SaaS 'Weave Cloud' providing monitoring and GitOps tools. Then commercial versions of some OSS projects. Probably consultancy was the biggest revenue source overall.
