9/ Now’s the time to get involved. Explore Crossplane, build with it, and help shape the next generation of infrastructure.

8/ Huge thanks to the maintainers, contributors, and adopters who built this together. Crossplane’s graduation marks a community achievement — and the start of a new chapter.

7/ As AI and agentic systems emerge, declarative control becomes essential. Intelligent systems need clear APIs that express intent and continuously converge toward desired state.

6/ Crossplane is now trusted by thousands of organizations — from Fortune 10 to Global 2000 enterprises, global banks, and hyperscalers — to power production control planes.

5/ More than 60 companies have shared their use of Crossplane — including Apple, Nike, Autodesk, NASA Science Cloud, Grafana Labs, SAP, IBM, VMware Tanzu, Akamai, and Nokia.

4/ With 3,000+ contributors from 450+ orgs, Crossplane ranks in the top 10% of all CNCF projects for community engagement and authorship.

3/ Today, Crossplane powers control planes across industries and joins the ranks of projects like Kubernetes in redefining how modern infrastructure works.

2/ Started at Upbound, Crossplane set out to bring the declarative model that made Kubernetes revolutionary to everything companies operate: apps, platforms, and infrastructure.

It’s apples and oranges - TF cloud and Pulumi charge for storing resource state only. Upbound runs compute to reconcile resources continuously. I’ve seen some services charge $0.01 a minute for compute. We obviously have more iterations to do on pricing and appreciate your feedback.
