    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
    1 project | dev.to | 4 Oct 2023
    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:

    If you mean for each app, I don't think it's listed anywhere though you may find it in `repo-server` logs. Like so
