" summary

Integration ties ArgoCD and Crossplane so Git commits create both app and cloud resources: ArgoCD acts as the ArgoCD control plane watching repos and deploying apps, Crossplane exposes Crossplane Compositions and XRDs that turn claims into composite managed resources (S3, SQS, networking). Platform exposes an internal API and Backstage UI, targeting ~500 clusters and ~10,000+ apps, and surfaces infra and apps in a single pane ArgoCD UI. Deployment is live but still mid‑migration, not yet fully scaled.
