GitOps at Production Scale with Flux - Scaling Best Practices and Benchmarking

Learn about scaling Flux controllers in production environments through this 36-minute conference talk from KubeCon. Explore three key scaling capabilities: vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, and sharding, while understanding their implementation based on multi-tenancy requirements, cluster fleet size, and workload complexity. Discover the Mean Time To Production benchmarking tool developed by the Flux team using CUE lang and Timoni, which evaluates deployment times for thousands of Helm charts and Kustomize overlays on Kubernetes clusters. Examine benchmark results across different Kubernetes distributions and providers, and gain insights into the Flux roadmap and API promises following its GA release.
