Dokku – Free Heroku Alternative
My go-to stack is Prometheus and Grafana with kube-prometheus-stack chart. I'm sure I'm not configuring it well. There are too many leaps I couldn't follow directly, and there's something about how arrays merge in YAML that makes it harder to write a config like this in Helm... but this one goes so far as making alerts to Slack with Alertmanager that work out of the box

Question for declarative GitOps managed shops
Using Helm via GitOps, you can pass in ridiculous collections of values that you would never use on the command line, mixing in secrets from secret sources, here is a complicated example (and here is a simpler one that doesn't do any patching.) Hope this helps. Usually when I show people Helm Controller, the reaction I get is "that's exactly what I wanted."

Alternatives to Helm?
I think the combination of Kustomize and helm works in my experience. For advanced use cases, you can also see KRM functions in Kustomize.

Help with Kustomize: cleanest way to replace an environment variable in a pod or deployment?
Using a strategic merge is the safest way so you avoid the index fragility.

Helm makes it overly complex, or is it just me?
Rendering out the manifests is something I have been pushing for. Not having to understand how every templating tool works and what actually is being changed is key. Though, it gets complicated when you use helm (or any templating/patching tool) that produces many variants. You also lose any release/deployment time hooks that are provided (helm hooks or recently "patched" kustomize env variables).

Monokle, Kustomize & Quality Kubernetes Deployments
Kustomize is an open-source project that “lets you customize raw, template-free YAML files for multiple purposes, leaving the original YAML untouched and usable as is.” It’s now the most popular tool for customizing Kubernetes manifests reasonably, and it’s even built directly into the Kubernetes CLI since K8s v1.14.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing flux2 and kustomize you can also consider the following projects:
tofu-controller - A GitOps OpenTofu and Terraform controller for Flux
helmfile - Deploy Kubernetes Helm Charts
go-stdlib - OpenTracing instrumentation for packages in the Go stdlib
kpt - Automate Kubernetes Configuration Editing
github-action
ytt - YAML templating tool that works on YAML structure instead of text
dokku-builder-nix - Dokku plugin to build images using Nix
kubevela - The Modern Application Platform.
webapp-tutorial - piku experiments with "build a web app fast" prototyping
tanka - Flexible, reusable and concise configuration for Kubernetes
atlantis - Terraform Pull Request Automation
