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.

How and when to use Helm and Kustomize together
It's a built in feature of kustomize https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/api/types/helmchartargs.go

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.

How to pass dynamic values to 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.

How to assume an AWS IAM role from a Service Account in EKS with Terraform
In our case, we were trying to communicate across EKS clusters to allow ArgoCD to manage multiple clusters and there is a pretty mammoth GitHub issue with people struggling (and succeeding!) with this. That GitHub issue partly inspired this blog post - if it was an easy topic people would not struggle and a blog would not be necessary ;)

ArgoCD Deployment on RKE2 with Cilium Gateway API
The code above will create the argocd Kubernetes namespace and deploy the latest stable manifest. If you would like to install a specific manifest, have a look here.

5-Step Approach: Projectsveltos for Kubernetes add-on deployment and management on RKE2
In this blog post, we will demonstrate how easy and fast it is to deploy Sveltos on an RKE2 cluster with the help of ArgoCD, register two RKE2 Cluster API (CAPI) clusters and create a ClusterProfile to deploy Prometheus and Grafana Helm charts down the managed CAPI clusters.

Verto.sh: A New Hub Connecting Beginners with Open-Source Projects
This is cool - I can think of some projects that are amazing as first contributors, and others I can think of that are terrible.
One thing I think the tool doesn't address is why someone should contribute to a particular project. Having stars is interesting, and a proxy for at least historical activity, but also kind of useless here - take argoproj/argo-cd [1] as an example - 14.5k stars, with a backlog of 2.7k issues and an issue tracker that's a real mess.
Either way, I think this tool is neat for trying to gain some experience in a project purely based on language.

Sharding the Clusters across Argo CD Application Controller Replicas
In our case, our team went ahead with Solution B, as that was the only solution present when the issue occurred. However, with the release of Argo CD 2.8.0 (released on August 7, 2023), things have changed - for the better :). Now, there are two ways to handle the sharding issue with the Argo CD Application Controller:

$ kubectl create namespace argocd //Next, let's apply the yaml configuration files for ArgoCd $ kubectl apply -n argocd -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/stable/manifests/install.yaml //Now we can view the pods created in the ArgoCD namespace. $ kubectl get pods -n argocd //To interact with the API Server we need to deploy the CLI: $ curl --silent --location -o /usr/local/bin/argocd https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/releases/download/v2.4.7/argocd-linux-amd64 $ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/argocd //Expose argocd-server $ kubectl patch svc argocd-server -n argocd -p '{"spec": {"type": "LoadBalancer"}}' //Wait about 2 minutes for the LoadBalancer creation $ kubectl get svc -n argocd //Get pasword and decode it. $ kubectl get secret argocd-initial-admin-secret -n argocd -o yaml $ echo WXVpLUg2LWxoWjRkSHFmSA== | base64 --decode
