Helm & GitOps Consulting (ArgoCD, Flux)

We implement GitOps deployment workflows using ArgoCD or Flux, write production-quality Helm charts, and set up multi-environment promotion pipelines where every deployment is a git commit with full audit trail and instant rollback.

GitOps is not just a deployment tool, it is a change in how your team thinks about infrastructure. We bring the patterns that make it stick: sensible repository structure, pragmatic secrets management, and drift alerting that does not cry wolf.

The GitOps loop.Git holds the desired state, and a controller keeps the cluster matching it.

Pain points we fix

Deployments are manual kubectl apply commands

Manual deployments are error-prone and leave no audit trail. GitOps makes every deployment a git commit with full history and rollback.

Helm charts are duplicated across teams

We build an internal Helm chart library with shared base charts and team-specific values overlays, stored in a private chart repository.

No drift detection between git and cluster

ArgoCD or Flux continuously compares desired state in git with actual cluster state and alerts or auto-remediates drift.

Rollbacks require manual intervention

With GitOps, rollback is a git revert. ArgoCD or Flux can apply the previous state automatically, depending on your sync policy.

Multi-cluster deployments are inconsistent

We implement ApplicationSets (ArgoCD) or Flux kustomizations to deploy consistently across dev, staging, and production clusters.

Secrets cannot be stored in git

We implement Sealed Secrets, External Secrets Operator, or SOPS so secrets are safely encrypted in git and decrypted at deploy time.

What's included

ArgoCD or Flux installation and configuration on Kubernetes GitOps repository structure design (app-of-apps or monorepo) Helm chart writing for your applications Chart repository setup (ChartMuseum, OCI in ECR/ACR, or GitHub Packages) Multi-environment promotion strategy (overlays with Kustomize or Helm values) ApplicationSets (ArgoCD) or Flux Kustomizations for multi-cluster deployments Drift detection and auto-sync or manual sync policies Sealed Secrets or External Secrets Operator for secret management in git Progressive delivery: canary and blue-green deployments with Argo Rollouts or Flagger RBAC configuration for GitOps (developers can deploy, not kubectl-exec) Slack/Teams notifications for sync status and failed deployments Migration from manual kubectl or Helm CLI to GitOps

Our process

01

Current deployment audit

We map how deployments currently work: who runs what commands, how configuration is managed, and where the failure points are.
02

GitOps architecture design

Repository structure, environment promotion strategy, secrets approach, and tool selection (ArgoCD vs Flux). All documented with rationale.
03

Helm chart development

Charts written for each service, validated with helm lint and helm template, and parameterised for each environment. Chart repository set up.
04

GitOps controller deployment and cutover

ArgoCD or Flux deployed, applications registered, and manual deploy process retired. Team trained on the new git-based workflow.

FAQ

ArgoCD vs Flux, which should I choose?

ArgoCD includes a web UI and a central application model, while Flux is a set of composable controllers driven by Kubernetes resources and its CLI. Both are CNCF graduated projects. We help you choose based on your team preferences and existing tooling.

What is GitOps?

GitOps is a deployment practice where git is the single source of truth for infrastructure and application configuration. Every change goes through a pull request, and a controller (ArgoCD or Flux) automatically applies the desired state to your cluster.

How do you handle secrets with GitOps?

Secrets cannot be stored in git in plaintext. We use Sealed Secrets (encrypted secrets committed to git), External Secrets Operator (secrets fetched from AWS SM or Vault), or SOPS (file-level encryption).

What is a Helm chart?

A Helm chart is a package of Kubernetes manifests with templating. It lets you deploy complex applications with a single command, override values per environment, and roll back to a previous version.

What is progressive delivery?

Progressive delivery uses canary deployments or blue-green releases to gradually shift traffic to a new version, and can roll back automatically when metrics such as error rates or latency cross agreed thresholds. We implement this with Argo Rollouts or Flagger.

Can you migrate us from Helm CLI to ArgoCD?

Yes. We convert existing Helm deployments to ArgoCD Applications, migrate values to environment-specific overlays, and deprecate manual helm upgrade commands.
