You're In Business

GlueOps is a functional early-stage DevOps platform offering GitOps and Kubernetes orchestration, verified via AWS Marketplace and GitHub. However, the submission contained highly inaccurate claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product', audience 'everyone') which severely penalized the score. While the technology is relevant and the solution is useful for reducing DevOps complexity, the project demonstrates minimal verifiable traction (single-digit GitHub stars) and lacks the widespread adoption claimed.
