Why GitOps?

Adopting GitOps for platform engineering brings a multitude of advantages, reshaping how teams interact with infrastructure and applications. This methodology leverages the strengths of Git, automation, and declarative configurations, providing a robust framework for managing complex systems. Here are some of the key benefits:

• Declarative and immutable nature: GitOps focuses on declaring the desired state of systems rather than detailing imperative scripts. It adopts an immutable infrastructure approach where changes are made by replacing resources rather than modifying existing ones, enhancing consistency and stability.
• Automated synchronization: Central to GitOps is automatically synchronizing the system state with the configurations described in Git to cover the full life cycle of infrastructure and applications, including deployment, updates, scaling, and recovery.
• Pull request workflow integration: Operational processes in GitOps are deeply integrated...
