Easy application deployment for Kubernetes and Amazon ECS

Waypoint allows developers to deploy, manage, and observe their applications through a consistent abstraction of underlying infrastructure. Waypoint works with Kubernetes, ECS and many other platforms.

Simple developer experience

Waypoint provides a simple and consistent abstraction for developers to easily build, deploy, and release applications.

Application-centric abstraction

Specify the deployment needs with a simple and consistent abstraction without the underlying complexity.

End-to-end deployment workflow

Move and manage resources efficiently with distinct build, deploy, release steps.

Powerful for operators

Waypoint enables operators to create PaaS workflows of Kubernetes, ECS, serverless applications.

build { use "pack" {} registry { use "docker" { image = "nodejs-example" tag = "latest" local = true } }}
deploy { use "kubernetes" { probe_path = "/" }}
release { use "kubernetes" { load_balancer = true port = 3000 }}

Build-deploy-release extensibility

Enable a pluggable framework, integrated with CI/CD pipelines, monitoring tools, and any other ecosystem tools.

PaaS experience for developers

Provide a consistent abstraction and unified workflow for any major platforms.
