Argo CD is a declarative GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes that keeps Git repositories as the source of truth for desired application state. It runs as a Kubernetes controller that continuously reconciles live cluster state against manifests defined in Git, supporting Helm, Kustomize, Jsonnet, and plain YAML.

Use cases

• deploy kubernetes applications from git repositories
• gitops continuous delivery for kubernetes
• automate kubernetes deployment drift detection and sync
• manage helm and kustomize deployments declaratively
• set up auditable continuous deployment pipelines
• sync kubernetes cluster state with version-controlled manifests

When to choose

• you want Git as the single source of truth for Kubernetes deployments
• you need automated drift detection and self-healing sync of cluster state
• you deploy with Helm, Kustomize, Jsonnet, or plain YAML manifests
• you want a UI, CLI, and API for managing multi-environment Kubernetes apps

When to avoid

• you are not deploying to Kubernetes
• you need imperative deployment pipelines rather than declarative GitOps reconciliation
• you want a general-purpose CI system for building and testing code
