Honest review of Spacelift after using it for Terraform workflows. How it compares to Atlantis and Terraform Cloud, what's great, what's not.
ArgoCD tells you when drift happens — but not why it matters or what to do. Build an AI agent with LangChain that detects drift, explains the risk, and suggests the right fix.
Your Kustomize overlay patch isn't modifying the base resource. Here's every reason patches silently fail and exactly how to debug and fix each one.
Both ArgoCD and Flux implement GitOps for Kubernetes, but they take very different approaches. Here's a detailed comparison to help you pick the right one.
