HashiCorp Waypoint is a Go-based tool that lets developers define their application build, deploy, and release lifecycle as code, with out-of-the-box support for platforms like Docker, Kubernetes, AWS ECS, Azure Container Instances, and Google Cloud Run. The open-source Community Edition is no longer actively maintained, as HashiCorp has shifted focus to the hosted HCP Waypoint internal developer platform.
Use cases
- deploy applications to kubernetes with a single workflow
- define build deploy release lifecycle as code
- standardize deployments across docker kubernetes and cloud platforms
- build and deploy apps using cloud native buildpacks
- consistent repeatable deployment workflow for any platform
When to choose
- you want a single declarative workflow for building, deploying, and releasing apps across multiple target platforms
- you need plugin extensibility for custom build or deployment methods
- you are already invested in the HashiCorp toolchain and want an integrated deployment tool
When to avoid
- you need actively maintained software - the Community Edition is no longer maintained
- you want the current HCP Waypoint IDP features like templates and add-ons, which are cloud-only and not in this repo
- you prefer modern GitOps or CI/CD-native deployment approaches
