Scaling a GitOps Platform at Adobe - Aaren J & Ko Uchiyama, Adobe
GitOps is a fantastic paradigm to manage your application lifecycle with, but its requirements, especially regarding continuous reconciliation of state, are complex at scale. At Adobe we went from 0 to 10,000 Kubernetes services, composed of dozens of resources each, being continuously reconciled across over 350 clusters in 28 different geos. The journey thus far wasn't without its challenges. The lessons learned provided a wealth of information that will help us tackle the unknowns ahead and we'd like to share them with you. We've gathered technical learnings - such as limitations and scaling requirements of our Kubernetes clusters and ArgoCD - and non-technical - such as effective disaster response and vendor engagement. In this talk I'll show the learnings we've found to be valuable for others who are on their own journey to build and scale a GitOps-driven platform, with some focus on the scaling of our ArgoCD and Argo Workflows based platform through dynamic routing of workloads. Attendees will leave with an understanding of how they might implement and scale a GitOps-driven platform at their organization, so that they can drive their platform to success.
