Wayfinder
London, United Kingdom
What it is
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 in chat, the CLI, or an IDE. Resource Plans are tested in the customer's cloud against its policies before publication to the catalogue. Integrations include AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes services, Terraform, OpenTofu, Helm, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and several MCP-enabled IDE agents. Wayfinder describes per-workload OIDC federation for cloud identities, hierarchical RBAC, SSO, workspace-scoped access tokens, and an exportable audit stream that captures agent actions. Secret storage uses envelope encryption through AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, or local encryption for self-hosted Wayfinder. A free plan is available; Starter costs £399 a month and Professional costs £2,499 a month. Listed plans range from one cluster and one seat to enterprise allowances with unlimited clusters and users. The site identifies Appvia as the maker and lists London as its location.
