Waypoint Roadmap 2022
summary
HashiCorp launches HCP Waypoint in private beta and moves the Waypoint server to the cloud so teams avoid selfhosting and reliability work; a lightweight local runner handles remote builds via waypoint runner install. Application delivery centers on the waypoint.htl file with build, deploy, release stanzas, plugin builders (Docker, Pack), and targets like Kubernetes, ECS, Lambda, Cloud Run. Developers run waypoint up or use git polling; claims include delivering apps with ~15 lines of HCL and integrating across the 10–30 disparate tools teams often juggle.
