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).

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
YTT - YTT is a templating tool that understands YAML structure. It helps you easily configure complex software via reusable templates and user provided values using the Starlark language.
-
Alternatives to Helm/Kustomize for complex Kubernetes Deployments
Adding https://carvel.dev/ytt/ to the list. I was happy using this tool as IMO it mixes good things from Helm and Kustomize, however the syntax is ugly and repelling my colleagues to have a closer look.

The YAML Document from Hell
> Templating yaml is a terrible, terrible idea
I've had a good time using ytt: https://carvel.dev/ytt/. It implements language-aware templating, which is IMO the only reasonable way to do it.
-
Creating Kubernetes Templates
`ytt` is part of the Carvel toolchain. https://carvel.dev/ytt/
-
Dealing with YAML overload
I agree with you on `you will want to see just plain texts instead of a bunch of templating token with hidden logic.` Which is why I think https://carvel.dev/ytt/ would be great. We could generate these templates in pipelines, or we could just make it easier to maintain what we have.

How to handle the lifecycle of multiple COTS
For more advanced configuration management you might be interested in ytt ( https://carvel.dev/ytt/ ) which is a "yaml-aware" templating tool. it lets you do "patches" via an overlay mechanism to add or remove specific yaml blocks, and it also lets you use a simplified python dialect for more complicated logic. With ytt you would put your DNS IP into a "data values" file and then run ytt to render it into the configs before handing them off to the deployment tool. e.g. `ytt -f | kubectl apply`
-
The Dhall Configuration Language
I said this above as well: ytt (https://carvel.dev/ytt/) lets you embed starlark into valid yaml, among other cute tricks for managing biz-logic in configs.
