GitOps... I'm still struggling to find any real reason to move from change-driven CI/CD with helmfile to something like ArgoCD or Flux.

With the CI/CD "push" approach, I can see deployment issues in a familiar interface, and a single pipeline view through to deployment. I can deploy through environments with visible e2e or smoke tests.

In the GitOps "pull" model I have yet another interface and bunch of logs to sift through. I have to workaround some things like CRDs.

IMO, most GitOps repos end up a bit of a mess over time 🤔

For GitOps of Helm, what’s your preference between:
• 🅰️ CI tool renders to k8s manifests _(helm/helmfile template) -_> writes to git/s3/… -> CD tool (flux/argo/…) pickups rendered manifests and applies them to cluster.
• 🅱️ CD tool (flux/argo/…) uses it’s own helm functionality to render on the fly and apply to cluster.
And for both, what’s your take on compatibility with Helm hooks?
