GitOps simplifies ops by making git the single source of truth. Changes flow through pull requests; agents reconcile state. The patterns are well-established.
Pull-Based Reconciliation
Agents in the cluster pull from git. No external systems push in. More secure, more reliable.
Argo CD or Flux
Both excellent. Argo CD has richer UX. Flux is lighter. Either works.
Environment Branches Or Overlays
Kustomize overlays beat long-lived environment branches for most needs.
Progressive Delivery
Argo Rollouts for canary, blue-green, automated analysis. Integrates naturally.
Who This Is For

- Treating SLOs as KPIs instead of decision tools
- Automating what should be eliminated
Business Impact
- Deploy frequency measured in hours, not sprints
- Change failure rate under 5% at full velocity
- Engineer time reclaimed from manual ops
