Two GitOps Titans, One Powerful Solution: Flamingo (Flux + Argo)!
summary
Flamingo embeds the Flux Helm Controller and Terraform Controller into ArgoCD so Flux-managed Helm charts and Terraform resources appear in the ArgoCD UI. Demo spins up a kind cluster, installs the flux and flamingo CLIs, deploys Flux controllers and the terraform controller, then creates a hello-world customization and a podinfo HelmRelease; Terraform runs (about three–four minutes) and writes outputs into a Kubernetes Secret. All resources sync successfully in the demo and can be inspected via the Flamingo UI and ArgoCD app dashboard.
