Today, we would like to make some important announcements:
Sunsetting Glide
We have decided to sunset the Glide open source project.
Glide will be put into maintenance now and the project will be archived on 16 May 2024. During the maintenance period, we will publish critical operations or security fixes where required. At the conclusion of the maintenance period, we will archive the project and the project source code will become read-only.
Existing releases of Glide will remain published for the foreseeable future, including our CloudFormation deployment templates and gdeploy deployment CLI.
The main reasons for this decision are:
Common Fate - Identity Platform

We believe that Common Fate’s identity platform is the way we will realise our goal and ultimately provide the greatest value for the greatest number of teams. As such, all of our team’s focus will be on this product from now onward.
Within the identity platform, we currently support the following use cases:
In future, we intend to expand our library of integrations, as well as expand out to non-human identities (more on this in another blog post).
