GitOps and Progressive Delivery

Our customers expect a very high level of service from us, so they urged us to build our architecture as resiliently and reliably as we could. That brought us many challenges, from scalability to observability, from multi-cluster and multi-region deployments to managed services geo-replication. While many of these challenges have already been tackled, some are still a work in progress. In this talk, Marco Amador (Anova) will describe their journey to progressive delivery with some hands-on demos and explain why they've chosen progressive delivery over multi-cluster and multi-region Kubernetes. He'll also talk about how they decided to use a GitOps workflow with FluxCD and progressive delivery with Flagger, the Istio service mesh, and Prometheus/Thanos, and the challenges that they're still trying to solve.
