We use a Gitflow worflow in our mono-repository with all the products and the corresponding k8s manifests in the same repo.
A mono-repository setup can present some challenges and we faced one ourselves with the different products' delivery pipelines to production getting intertwined; deeming it impossible to deploy a specific product at a time. The CI/CD pipelines were all dependent on the git workflow and thus had the same trigger. Perhaps I can discuss how we went about in another article but during my search for an alternative autonomous trigger, is when I landed on ArgoCD. Up until then, I had miniature knowledge of GitOps but I found it interesting as I read about it. Fascinated by how the methodology would address many challenges we faced, I instantly installed ArgoCD on one of our clusters. Due to it's multi-tenant nature, I was able to add setup applications in the different clusters and their respective projects under one roof: and subsequently on boarded the entire team onto it. We now use ArgoCD as our deploy operator but kept GitHub Actions as our CI tool and Config Updater for image tags on Helm(which we defaulted to).
