Company Description

Akuity was founded by the co-creators of Argo, Hong Wang, Jesse Suen, and Alexander Matyushentsev. The three were founding engineers at Applatix, which launched the Argo project in 2017. After Applatix’s acquisition by Intuit in 2018, Argo rapidly expanded with projects like Argo CD, Argo Rollouts, and Argo Events, and became an incubating project within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Today, Argo has over 22,000 GitHub stars and is one of the fastest-growing CNCF projects, trusted by hundreds of enterprises, including Adobe, Tesla, PayPal, Capital One, and Peloton to automate application delivery on Kubernetes.

Following Argo’s widespread adoption, we founded Akuity to help organizations reliably deploy Argo at scale through enterprise support and enhanced capabilities. Backed by $25 million in funding from Lead Edge Capital and Decibel Partners, we are experiencing rapid growth while staying true to our open-source roots. We actively contribute to Argo, support the community, and promote its adoption at every opportunity.
