Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • helmfile

    Declaratively deploy your Kubernetes manifests, Kustomize configs, and Charts as Helm releases. Generate all-in-one manifests for use with ArgoCD. (by helmfile)

  • I am asking which do you choose, Flux or Helmfile. edit: and what criteria do you use to select.

  • flux2

    Open and extensible continuous delivery solution for Kubernetes. Powered by GitOps Toolkit.

  • About reconcilation. Nope, it doesn't. Even developers said that this feature is not supported yet: https://github.com/fluxcd/flux2/issues/3468

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • gitlab

  • Highly recommend you read this thread where GitLab goes back and forth on Argo vs Flux (and ultimately chooses Flux): https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/357947

  • carvel

    Carvel provides a set of reliable, single-purpose, composable tools that aid in your application building, configuration, and deployment to Kubernetes. This repo contains information regarding the Carvel open-source community.

  • There's a third option that's quickly rising in popularity, which is Carvel, works great for smaller teams, and allows progressive adoption since it can start as CLI for newer teams learning about gitops concepts.

  • helmsman

    Helm Charts as Code

  • I've been using https://github.com/Praqma/helmsman for quite a few years now. Very pleased with it.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
