You should take a look at Carvel maybe something in it could match with your needs.

Which GitOps for very small teams?
There's a third option that's quickly rising in popularity, which is Carvel, works great for smaller teams, and allows progressive adoption since it can start as CLI for newer teams learning about gitops concepts.

What are some useful Kubernetes tools you can share?
Huge fan of Carvel tools, it's a whole bunch of them that can help with a wide array of use cases, grab one or two of them for a given scenario, or adopt a bunch that string together to solve larger problems.

Why helm doesn't use a general purpose programming language for defining resources?
+1 been using ytt and kapp, the Carvel stuff in its entirety is a much better experience than helm (it can keep helm to help migration, or deal with the fact everyone still distributes in helm).

Project recommendations - Go, Kubernetes & Docker
Are tools that manage Kubernetes and its hosted workloads also interesting for you? If yes, I'm looking for contributors in my project: https://github.com/kluctl/kluctl. If you look at the list of issues, I marked a few with the "good first issue" that should be easy to fix/implement without deep knowledge of the code base.

Is Push based GirOps dying, or it's just me?
These are my two cents for that topic :) I'm a strong believer and advocate in what I just wrote, to the point where I started to work on a tool that implements GitOps this way: https://kluctll.io (https://github.com/kluctl/kluctl). If I remember correct, I already mentioned the tool in a discussion to you yesterday (Alternatives to Helm).

Alternatives to Helm?
The next step was to write a Bash script that would orchestrate many small Kustomize deployments and Helm Charts. This script got rewritten as Python and generalised in a way that it could be used in other projects as well internally. The lessons learned from that were then put into Kluctl (https://github.com/kluctl/kluctl/) and made Open Source.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing carvel and kluctl you can also consider the following projects:
helm - The Kubernetes Package Manager
kustomize - Customization of kubernetes YAML configurations
asdf - k14s asdf plugin
mariadb-operator - 🦭 Run and operate MariaDB in a cloud native way
kwt - Kubernetes Workstation Tools CLI
helm-charts - Company.info Helm charts repository
mgmt - Next generation distributed, event-driven, parallel config management!
cue - The home of the CUE language! Validate and define text-based and dynamic configuration
ytt.vim - syntax for ytt
tanka - Flexible, reusable and concise configuration for Kubernetes
kapp - kapp is a simple deployment tool focused on the concept of "Kubernetes application" — a set of resources with the same label
kustomization-set-controller - Dynamically generate Flux Kustomization objects.
