Modern CI/CD pipelines are no longer just about whether builds succeed, they’re about how fast, how efficiently, and at what cost they run. One theme has come up consistently in customer conversations: “My builds are slow, expensive, and I don’t know where to start fixing that.”

Argo CD has built a number of Generators to support various scenarios that developers need when using Argo CD and Kubernetes. In this post, I’ll be discussing the Pull Request Generator. A Pull Request Generator is an Argo CD Application Set deployment type that is configured to “watch” a Git repository for Pull Requests (PRs). Whenever a new PR is submitted that matches the specified filter, Argo CD applies the manifests from the referenced repository and path.

The time has finally come! After the massive success of our Docker and Kubernetes guides, we are now ready to see several anti-patterns for Argo CD. Anti-patterns are questionable practices that people adopt because they seem like a good idea at first glance, but in the long run, they make processes more complicated than necessary. Several times, we have spoken with enthusiastic teams that recognize the benefits of Gitops and want to adopt Argo CD as quickly as possible.

In our big guide on how to use ApplicationSets for Argo CD applications, we explained the best practice of having a 3-level structure for all manifests with a clear distinction between Argo CD Application files and Kubernetes resource files. In that article, we also outlined several anti-patterns that we have seen in the wild, meaning questionable practices that might seem ok at first glance but are problematic in the long run both for developers and for Argo CD operators.

The default Kubernetes scheduler works great when your cluster is destined for long running applications. At Codefresh we use our Kubernetes clusters for running Continuous Integration pipelines which means our workloads are ephemeral (they are discarded when a pipeline has finished). This allowed us to look at the Kubernetes scheduler from a different perspective and forced us to think about how Kubernetes can work for short-running workloads.

The acquisition of Codefresh gave me an exciting opportunity to learn new tech. Initially, I thought Argo was just Argo CD. I didn’t realize that Argo consists of 4 distinct projects: A key feature of the Codefresh product is Promotion Flows, which makes heavy use of Argo Workflows. Promotion Flows add the ability to assign Pre and or Post Actions to the process called Promotion Workflows, which are Argo Workflows with some annotations added.

A Kubernetes cluster with default configuration has access to only two deployment strategies: To get access to more advanced deployment strategies such as blue/green and canaries you need to use a dedicated Progressive Delivery controller such as Argo Rollouts. We have previously covered several basic and advanced scenarios for Argo Rollouts in our blog. Today we answer another common question which is how you can select which of all live users will have access to the canary deployment.

The cloud ecosystem has reached a turning point. Tools for operators/administrators are now mature and can handle most day-to-day operations that deal with Kubernetes clusters. Finally, we can turn our focus to application developers and their needs. If you look at all the Kubernetes tools available, you’ll understand that most of them treat Kubernetes as another form of infrastructure.

We recently announced the new Codefresh GitOps Cloud, the easiest way to promote changes across Argo CD applications–even across different clusters. With Codefresh GitOps Cloud, you can model your own promotion flow with a graphical editor (although YAML is still available). You define exactly how an application reaches production, including all the requirements and approval gates your organization needs. With Codefresh, environment information gets modelled in the platform itself.

Kubernetes is often seen as complex and only worth it at scale. In this episode, we unpack those assumptions, talk through where that perception comes from, and discuss why Kubernetes still plays an important role when used with the right approach.

Codefresh has everything you need to build, integrate, and deploy your product — without the slow build times, complicated setup, and restrictions.
Each step in a Codefresh CI/CD pipeline is its own container, enabling unparalleled speed, modularity, and flexibilty. And with our built-in steps library, you can create a full-fledged pipeline in minutes. From performing a canary release in Kubernetes to building an iOS app, you can create a pipeline that does just about anything in minutes.
Run your builds in a fraction of the time:
- Built for speed and scalability: Codefresh is designed to be the fastest CI/CD platform available. It’s built on Kubernetes for fast speed and unlimited scalability. It’s time to say goodbye to slow, frustrating builds.
- Advanced Distributed Caching: Thanks to our smart docker image layer caching, an embedded registry, and a shared persistent volume, Codefresh caches images, layers, source code, dependencies, and more—and they’re distributed across all nodes used in any pipeline. Your builds are about to be faster than ever.
- Parallel steps and pipelines: Create steps that run in parallel, with powerful features that allow you to explicitly define step order, mix and match sequential and parallel steps, set up prerequisite success criteria for parallel steps, and more.
Codefresh helps you build powerful, fast, and simple CI/CD pipelines.
