Rating: 8 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Waypoint by Hashicorp makes the experience of the developers smooth and easy by integrating with various platforms like Elastic Kubernetes service (EKS) and Kubernetes and lot of other platforms . In our organisation we are using Waypoint to for building, creating and releasing the code in various Environments like Test, UAT and production .
Pros
- The infrastructure as a code concept is simple and easy to learn in waypoint
- You can integrate waypoint with various code repositories like Github, Gitlab etc
- The waypoint UI provides a interactive interface to view the status of your builds
Cons
- Need more controlling environment which is missing in waypoint
- The UI lags sometimes which can be problematic at times
- It uses HCL language which is outdated , can be moved to YAML which is used by most of the tools
- Need to copy the endpoint everytime from waypoint to my browser
- It forces me to install a server
Likelihood to Recommend
Waypoint is very similar to teraform , it can run a ec2 machine, an ECS service, Azure containers, Google containers and many more , which is one of the most advantageous thing about waypoint . The team that we are working with has a hybrid customer based in multiple clouds like AWS, Azure and GCP.
