Argo CD is easy to adopt, which is why many teams get into trouble. What starts as a simple GitOps setup can quickly become difficult to manage as applications, clusters, and users multiply. Early design decisions around repositories, instances, and cluster organization start to work at first, but over time can limit scalability.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what it really takes to scale Argo CD in enterprise environments. You’ll learn proven patterns for structuring Git repositories, organizing clusters, and designing Argo CD architectures that support growth, along with the anti-patterns and pitfalls that commonly derail teams as adoption expands.

Whether you’re already running Argo CD in production or planning your GitOps journey, this session will help you avoid costly rework and build a foundation that keeps delivery fast, reliable, and manageable as your organization grows.
 
Key Takeaways:

  • Design Git repositories that scale by using folder-based structures and ApplicationSets to manage hundreds of applications without added complexity.

  • Improve developer experience and velocity by enabling local testing workflows that don’t require developers to interact directly with Argo CD.

  • Keep environments consistent and reliable by using autosync and self-heal to eliminate configuration drift across clusters.
