GitOps at Scale with and Argo CD on
summary
Claims a reduction from >60 to <10 minutes by replacing ad hoc deploys with GitOps using GitHub, Jenkins, JFrog Artifactory, Argo CD and Kubernetes. Platform runs ~3,000 apps across 130+ clusters and ~3,500 namespaces; Jenkins runs ~12,000 jobs/day and never touches cluster credentials. Developers get code repo + deployment repo; CI builds images, pushes them, and Jenkins updates tag, Argo CD syncs to clusters (auto or pipeline-driven). Argo CD handles multi-cluster syncs, rollbacks/rollforwards, and supports blue‑green/canary workflows.
