The controls behind it
Each workflow and agent runs as its own service account, with roles per workspace and environment.
Agents with a shell run in a sandbox with its own kernel, on nodes created for the run.
A workflow cannot be granted more than the person who wrote it has.
Every action and every agent conversation is logged and can be replayed.
Sandboxes deny outbound traffic by default and cannot reach instance metadata.
Plan, approve and apply on any change to your infrastructure.
What teams use Wayfinder for.
Each is a workflow or an agent you can install and run on day one.

Runs in your cloud
Runs in your own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account, and on your Kubernetes clusters.
Any Terraform or OpenTofu module becomes a self-service plan. Developers choose it from the catalogue; the platform team fixes the values that matter.

- Lambda

Every cloud connects by workload identity over OIDC trust, with no static keys stored. On Kubernetes, namespaces, RBAC and workload identity are scoped per team.

How it compares
Developer portals catalogue your infrastructure.
Wayfinder provisions and runs it.
Portals read from your cloud. Hosting platforms run new apps on their cloud. Neither provisions or operates the infrastructure you already have.
| Developer portalsPort, Cortex, OpsLevel, Backstage | App hostingRailway, Vercel | Wayfinder | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A catalogue of your infrastructure, with actions that call your pipelines | A place to run apps, on their cloud | The platform that provisions and runs your apps, in your own cloud account |
| Who provisions the infrastructure | Your pipelines, mapped in and kept fresh by you | They do, on their infrastructure | Wayfinder, from plans built on your own Terraform modules |
| Where it runs | Beside your cloud, reading it | Their cloud, their region, their invoice | Your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account, under your controls |
| What one integration is | An ingest connector, plus write actions you assemble yourself | Not the model | Webhooks, web APIs, data types, MCP and agents in one definition you install, both directions |
| What agents can do | Read the catalogue and trigger the actions you wired up | Deploy and fix the app | Act on live infrastructure under scoped identity and approval gates, each in its own kernel |
| Cloud cost | Bring your own cost tool | Their invoice | Cost alerts from all three clouds land as findings an agent can act on |
| Cloud credentials | Usually stored secrets | Theirs | Workload identity, nothing long lived stored either side |
| Scorecards, and an inventory of what you did not provision | Strong. This is what a portal is for | Not the model | Not today. We link to your portal rather than rebuild it |
| Time to first value | Weeks of mapping, or months of build | Minutes, on their cloud | Minutes, in your cloud, on the free plan |
Named products are for orientation. The comparison is written against their published documentation and kept current. A portal and Wayfinder run side by side: the portal shows the infrastructure, Wayfinder is what the agents act on.
