Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Self-service infrastructure as code
Given the team had already adopted GitOps and were familiar with deployments powered by Helm Releases and Flux, we wanted to move the provisioning of the infrastructure to be part of the same process of creating the service and its continuous deployment.

Weaveworks Is Shuting Down
Your GitHub action can trigger a helm chart, or series thereof, or other infra tools. Declarative specifications, triggered procedurally with the context of the branch’s latest build. We use this pattern quite extensively for preview app workflows.
As of a year ago this is possible in a fully declarative way with Flux 2, but there’s a lot more moving parts and security footguns - and the idea that the maintenance of this project has lost one of its primary sponsors is worrying at best.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
FluxCD - FluxCD is another popular GitOps tool that allows developers to use a Git repository as the sole source of configuration. Flux automatically ensures that the state of the Kubernetes cluster is synchronized with the configuration in the Git repository. It supports automatic updates, meaning Flux can monitor Docker image repositories for new images and push updates to the cluster.

Best Kubernetes DevOps Tools: A Comprehensive Guide
Flux CD enables continuous deployment to Kubernetes through GitOps by syncing Git repositories with Kubernetes clusters. Flux CD enables GitOps for Kubernetes through source control integration. It manages Kubernetes manifests as code and syncs git repo changes to clusters. Flux automates checks, deployments, and updates within clusters.

Git going with GitOps on AKS: A Step-by-Step Guide using FluxCD AKS Extension
FluxCD is a GitOps tool developed by Weaveworks that allows you to implement continuous and progressive delivery of your applications on Kubernetes. It is a CNCF graduated project that offers a set of controllers to monitor Git repositories and reconciles the cluster's actual state with the desired state defined by manifests committed in the repo.

Ultimate EKS Baseline Cluster: Part 1 - Provision EKS
From here, we can explore other developments and tutorials on Kubernetes, such as o11y or observability (PLG, ELK, ELF, TICK, Jaeger, Pyroscope), service mesh (Linkerd, Istio, NSM, Consul Connect, Cillium), and progressive delivery (ArgoCD, FluxCD, Spinnaker).
-
Reducing Cloud Costs on Kubernetes Dev Envs
Instead, we will create a single long-lived cluster, and deploy our application in different namespaces. There are a bunch of ways to do that - see ArgoCD, Flux, custom internal tooling, or other solutions (we use our own product). That way, we:

What is the proper, kubernetes native way of working with multiple clusters for DR, HA?
One is to make sure configurations in both clusters is same. And for that there are many tools like fluxcd or projectsveltos

Deploy IRIS Application to Azure Using CircleCI
What we’re going to install into the newly created AKS cluster is located in the helm directory. The descriptive Helmfile approach enables us to define applications and their settings in the helmfile.yaml file.

[2022] [Updated] Alternative to Helmfile
Is there any alternative to https://github.com/roboll/helmfile you are currently using in your company.

Projectsveltos: Manage Kubernetes addons in multiple clusters
Interesting, I have approached this problem using Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to define a “platform release package.”
-
How to Build Software Like an SRE
I agree; helm is too declarative.
Whenever I can, I use helmfile[0] for storing variables for helm since it does add a declarative layer on top of helm.
-
Managing multiple repos
helmfile is something i’ve used in the past for this https://github.com/roboll/helmfile

Helm is both "package manager" and "templating engine" - probably the best package manager but horrible template engine
I always felt like dependencies in helm are for very simple non-coupled packages. I many times use Helmfile (https://github.com/roboll/helmfile) to manage dependencies instead of banging my head with vanilla Helm.

So I've installed grafana, loki, and prometheus on the personal Kubernetes cluster via Terraform. Now what?
Once you do that, learn to create dynamic helm charts that use go templating and conditionals: https://github.com/roboll/helmfile

Interesting tools?

How to keep track of 3d party applications helm chart on K8S?
Not exactly an answer to your question, but we have created a separate project called "cluster" where we define all cluster dependencies via https://github.com/roboll/helmfile, meaning that you always know what (+versions) you have in the cluster and can easily reproduce it. It does not solve an issue with knowing what project has a new version now but at least you can be sure what version is in your cluster

Requesting guidance. Helm deployment and structure.
Dont.Use.Umbrella.Charts. If you need to deploy multiple things at once, but you dont wanna deal with relative complexity of Flux or ArgoCD - use helmfile. https://github.com/roboll/helmfile
