We dive into the challenges faced with Argo CD’s current synchronization strategy. Despite its wide adoption for managing Kubernetes deployments, there are cracks in the system’s design, particularly when it comes to handling sync operations. We’ll explore why Argo CD’s insistence on strong consistency is causing more problems than it solves and discuss how an eventual consistency model could be the game-changer that Argo CD needs to streamline deployment workflows and minimize outages.

In the dynamic world of cloud-native applications, Kubernetes reigns supreme as the orchestrator of containerized microservices. However, mastering the order of deployment of Kubernetes resources and dependencies can be a daunting task, especially since many of us are trying to apply the logic and the processes we had in the past. Let’s try to demystify that with examples that contain applications, databases, database schemas and users, namespaces, and a few other typically managed resources.

This video explores the fascinating parallels between software development and a symphony orchestra, highlighting the importance of teamwork, coordination, and harmony in creating a cohesive and beautiful end result. Discover the similarities and gain a new perspective on the intricate process behind both software engineering and musical composition. We’re exploring the role of developers, database administrators (DBAs), system engineers, and other roles in an attempt to produce symphony-like harmony.

What do we need to do to enable everyone to self-serve themselves when infrastructure is concerned? How can we create, operate, and destroy Kubernetes clusters without the need to involve anyone else? How can we customize the experience to fulfill the needs of our users? How can we provide a good user experience through services? How can we ensure that we are following best practices? In this video, we will explore how to create an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for Infrastructure by combining Argo CD, Crossplane, Port, and GitHub Actions.
