Argo CD

A declarative GitOps continuous-delivery tool for Kubernetes — the cluster's actual state is reconciled from Git.

Argo CD watches a Git repository and continuously reconciles a cluster to match what’s declared there. Drift gets corrected automatically, every change is a commit, and “what’s actually running” is always answerable by reading the repo instead of the cluster.

This is the GitOps engine behind the production cluster this consultancy runs on Hetzner under a single-operator model — one of the concrete pieces of the “if it isn’t in a repo, it isn’t real” approach described on this page.
