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.

Download packages for different architectures in your Dockerfiles using dumb-downloader, instead of writing scripts or separate Dockerfiles
And now I can just run dudo -l "https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile/releases/download/v{{ version }}/helmfile_{{ version }}_{{ os }}_{{ arch }}.tar.gz" -i /tmp/helmfile.tar.gz -p $HELMFILE_VERSION

Declarative GitOps for...my ArgoCD itself?
I might be misunderstanding your question but we use https://github.com/helmfile/helmfile along with Argo, so essentially between eks and those I could rebuild our entire cluster in minutes.

Which GitOps for very small teams?
I am asking which do you choose, Flux or Helmfile. edit: and what criteria do you use to select.
-
In a gitops world, what does your team do to reduce cycle time for devs?
do you publish your own helm chart for your internal services and use it in every environment? if so, you could try to use helmfile within the service's repo itself and store values in a helm/$env directory. then enhance your ci to deploy to dev after the merge/image build phase directly. to try and cut out what sounds like a "deployment/config repo" step you have in the middle that's making everything a pain.
-
Helm makes it overly complex, or is it just me?
I've used helmfile before to declaratively manage multiple helm charts. It's a higher-level tool, and still uses helm under the hood.

Weaveworks Is Shuting Down
Right. Flux was a handy little tool[1] that sync'd yaml manifests in git repos to live clusters. The concept was fascinating, and the tool was well done--small and efficient. Easy to learn.
In 2019, they announced they'd be "merging" with argocd[2]. It seems the merge never really took place, and after that they deprecated flux and announced flux2[3].
The sudden changes of course were a little confusing and perhaps not too well communicated.

FluxCD - question on configuration/setup in namespaces...
If you are looking at multiple instances of Flux on a cluster which is unmaintained, then most likely you are looking at Flux v1 which is the legacy version and users are all recommended to migrate to the new Flux v2 that has the feature of multiple git repositories and supporting to allow multiple syncs or even multiple tenants.

Automatic subchart updating?
Does a tool like this exist? I am aware of the argoCD image updater which is similar but not quite what I’m looking for, and am aware that flux has an old feature request for this https://github.com/fluxcd/flux/issues/2711

Automation assistants: GitOps tools in comparison
The blog post by Weaveworks, which coined the term GitOps in 2017, also names the first GitOps operator: Flux. In the meantime, this has been completely rewritten as Flux v2. In addition to Flux and Flux v2, the associated project "Flux" develops other components. Weaveworks has now handed the project over to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). By now, the project is in the second maturity level: incubator phase.

Open source Heroku Like Platform on premises
Looks really neat. We have a not-super-trivial rails app that I want to move to docker one day, but kinda scared to make the jump. We're already using docker for development, plus even have a home-grown docker-compose setup for ephemeral labs, but it's clunky at best.
This seems like something that might provide a simple jumping board hopefully... Also bumped into fluxCD[0] recently which also looks interesting.

Kubernetes State Checker
> It doesn't make all the other yaml files happen. It doesn't make the yaml files you no longer want happening, stop happening. It doesn't even tell you "these things were created by 'old' yaml files" and should be garbage collected (since it doesn't seem to have a sense of old yaml files).
This is definitely one piece of Kubernetes that is getting a lot of attention recently. The three tools I've been paying attention to are Argo CD[0], Flux[1], and Config Sync[2].
All of these allow you to point your repository to a cluster and sync resources from the repo to the cluster, including deletes.
