What Wayfinder is

Wayfinder is an agentic SDLC platform that runs in a customer's own cloud and deploys 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 through chat, the CLI, or an IDE. Plans are tested against policies in the customer's cloud account before publication to the catalogue. Integrations include AWS, Azure, GCP, EKS, AKS, GKE, Terraform, OpenTofu, Helm, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and several MCP-enabled IDE agents. Wayfinder describes per-workload OIDC federation, hierarchical access controls, SSO, workspace-scoped 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; paid plans start at £399/mo. Listed tiers range from one cluster and one seat on Free to unlimited clusters and users on Enterprise. Appvia is identified as the maker.
