A 45-minute production outage at Weaveworks changed how we deploy software forever.

We just released the first episode of "The Making of Flux," a four–part KubeFM original series in which we interview the people who built, maintained, and deployed Flux at scale.

Episode 1 features Alexis Richardson (former Weaveworks CEO), Chris Aniszczyk (CNCF CTO), and Andrew Martin (ControlPlane CEO) discussing how that production disaster led to GitOps, what CNCF graduation actually means, and how Flux is thriving.

You'll hear about the technical decisions, governance challenges, and production failures that shaped the project and what these practitioners learned the hard way.

Thanks to our guests for their candor, to ControlPlane for making this series possible, and to @Birthmarkb.

P.S. If you're going to KubeCon, FluxCon is on November 11th in Salt Lake City https://ku.bz/L843kg0CK
