I have been working with that for the past year and I like it!! Great tool, easy to configure and use. Lately I have been looking at their workflow engine as well https://argoproj.github.io/workflows/

I can recommend Argo Workflows for ML and data processing workflows. We’ve been using it for over a year.

What's the best way to set up this platform? I keep looking at the docs and there seems to be a lot to-do, and their configs by default are just for hello-world type projects, not 'secure' projects.

Any potential tutorials / books / resources you could recommend? :)

Could you explain the “secure” projects part?

> These manifests are intended to help you get started quickly. They are not suitable in production, on test environments, or any environment containing any real data. They contain hard-coded passwords that are publicly available.

And then to my (lack of) knowledge, the configuration files are pretty big, try to read them directly.

In my current company, when I started, devs were deploying stuff into Kubernetes with an abomination they created that was a mix of Ansible + Terraform + Helm and Bash. I suggested the idea of refactoring the Helm charts in order to decouple them from the rest of things, use Argo CD and embrace a GitOps approach. They were hostile at the beginning as they were very proud of their ugly baby, but finally admitted that Argo CD is a much better and simpler approach.

Such a great tool, has helped my organization embrace GitOps in concert with jsonnet and sealed-secrets.

Found on Kubelist.com. Great source of K8s related articles/podcasts.

Im curious how ppl use it and with which technology stack?
