What are the most effective web application deployment strategies, and how can you implement them?
I am constantly amazed by the innovative strides being made in automating deployment pipelines. Many CNCF projects are at the forefront of this automation revolution. Tools like Helm for Kubernetes package management and Crossplane for managing cloud native applications are excellent projects that are advancing the automation narrative. Projects like Argo and Flux are instrumental in this domain, empowering organizations with robust tools for continuous delivery and GitOps. Flux facilitates automatic updates to Kubernetes clusters in a GitOps manner, while Argo empowers organizations with workflow automation and continuous delivery capabilities, ensuring a seamless, automated deployment pipeline.
