GitOps-powered continuous delivery for Kubernetes, fully declarative.
Argo CD automates Kubernetes application deployments using Git as the single source of truth, offering declarative sync, visual UI, and audit‑ready lifecycle management.

Argo CD implements GitOps principles to keep Kubernetes clusters in sync with a Git repository that holds the desired state of applications. By treating Git as the single source of truth, it automatically detects drift and reconciles live resources, providing auditable, version‑controlled deployments without custom pipelines. The platform offers a web UI, CLI, and API, allowing operators to visualize application health, roll back to previous commits, and manage multi‑cluster environments with fine‑grained RBAC.
Teams building cloud‑native services, platform engineers managing multiple clusters, and DevOps groups seeking repeatable, declarative delivery workflows find Argo CD valuable. It integrates with Helm, Kustomize, Jsonnet, and plain YAML manifests, and can be installed via Helm charts or raw manifests, fitting into existing CI pipelines or operating as a standalone continuous delivery engine.
When teams consider Argo CD, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
Looking for a hosted option? These are the services engineering teams benchmark against before choosing open source.
Production application rollout
Deploys new releases from Git, automatically syncs to clusters, and rolls back on failure.
Preview environments for pull requests
Creates temporary Kubernetes namespaces per PR, enabling developers to test changes in an isolated, reproducible environment.
Multi‑cluster fleet management
Synchronizes the same application version across several clusters with cluster‑specific overrides, ensuring consistent configuration.
Infrastructure as code for Helm charts
Manages Helm releases declaratively via Git, tracking chart versions and values alongside application code.
Argo CD focuses on continuous delivery by continuously reconciling the live cluster state with the desired state stored in Git, without requiring build pipelines.
Yes, it can be deployed using Helm charts or raw manifests onto any reachable Kubernetes cluster.
Argo CD works with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, and any generic Git server accessible over HTTPS or SSH.
Secrets are typically managed outside Argo CD using tools like Sealed Secrets, HashiCorp Vault, or external secret operators; Argo CD syncs references to those resources.
Yes, the ApplicationSet controller can generate multiple Application resources from templates, enabling batch or PR‑driven deployments.
