How CNCF enables community-sourced ecosystem map with Netlify deploy previews

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is a home for many fast-growing projects on GitHub, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Envoy. It aims to foster collaboration between industry developers, end users, and vendors. To achieve this, CNCF created the Cloud Native Landscape, an interactive "image map" covering active and emerging cloud-native technologies. The initial challenge was manual maintenance, which required hours of searching for company news and updating information. Dan Kohn, former CNCF executive director, used Kubernetes' Netlify deployment to keep the site up-to-date, significantly lowering overhead and productivity. With Staging Previews, contributors can see updates in action before they go live, reducing time spent on fixing issues. A nightly script now fetches company information, automatically re-deploying via Netlify, ensuring the Landscape is never more than 24 hours out-of-date. This has lowered overhead and allowed Dan to focus on meaningful tasks, such as organizing events and consulting on projects. Today, Netlify is recommended for all incoming CNCF projects, helping them enjoy the same benefits of scalability, reliability, and global Edge network support.
