Akuity is getting their lunch eaten by Harness and need some kind of IP to sell besides Argo-as-a-Service. I don't really see a path forward for them in the very crowded CI/CD space, so I would wait to see how they will monetize this and who the first movers are before attempting to use it.

From a business standpoint, Akuity had their Series A in 2022 and raised $25M. They have yet to show up on anyone's radar, IMO. Maybe Kargo is their PMF but I wouldn't move my CI/CD over yet.

There is enough space for innovation for tools. Harness product is stretched thin and trying to do everything like throwing Pizzas to the wall to check if it sticks in order to boost the valuation. I doubt it will do everything well and make sense to all the users.
