My journey into Kubernetes, and container orchestration
A snapshot of what ArgoCD really manages today, an AppProject idea that didn't survive contact with reality, a config-drift trap in a values.yaml file, and where GitOps is headed next.
Why kubectl apply stopped being good enough, installing ArgoCD as a self-managed Helm chart, and an app-of-apps gotcha that quietly left half my Applications running outside GitOps for months.
Converting Docker Compose stacks into Deployment/Service/Ingress manifests, the conventions I settled on, and a couple of experiments that didn't make it.
The two storage tiers I run side by side, why containers with a local database dependency had to move off NFS after fighting SQLite locking issues, and the throwaway debug pod I built to poke at block volumes.
