Next-gen CI/CD with Gitops and Progressive Delivery

Kevin Dubois

Deploying to production doesn't have to mean releasing to everyone. Discover how pairing GitOps with Argo Rollouts automates progressive delivery and eliminates deployment anxiety.

#1 about 2 min

Evolution from manual deployments to continuous integration

How application delivery practices evolved from manual file transfers to automated build pipelines.

#2 about 3 min

Continuous delivery versus continuous deployment models

Why moving to distributed microservices requires automated production delivery models beyond basic integration.

#3 about 3 min

Treating Git as the source of truth for operations

How GitOps methodologies use version control to enforce desired state and detect environment drift.

#4 about 2 min

Managing declarative configuration changes with Argo CD

How automatic synchronization tools can present operational risks via default big-bang release models.

#5 about 3 min

Reducing release risk with progressive delivery techniques

How gradually rolling out software builds deployment confidence and limits potential downtime impact.

#6 about 3 min

Comparing blue-green, canary, and dark launch deployments

How different distribution methods manage production traffic to securely validate incoming version upgrades.

#7 about 4 min

Routing traffic natively with Kubernetes and service meshes

How using tools like Istio facilitates precise load balancing logic for progressive version changes.

#8 about 3 min

Automating progressive rollouts and metric success analysis

How declarative strategies let systems automatically pause deployments and evaluate telemetry before continuing rollouts.

#9 about 8 min

Demonstrating automated canary releases and infrastructure rollbacks

Testing a progressive deployment strategy that successfully intercepts server errors and restores stable prior states.

#10 about 2 min

Handling stateful application schemas during progressive deployment

Why using progressive delivery alongside relational databases may require specialized external state capture systems.
