As GitOps adoption rises in popularity, the needs of engineering teams have outgrown simple single-repository deployments. Instead, teams are favoring more complex, production-ready architectures that span multiple repos. Why make the switch? Would one repo be best or multiple?
In this session, I’ll explore practical strategies for managing Argo CD apps sourced from not one, but multiple git repositories. You’ll learn how to structure repos for separation of concerns, explore using ApplicationSets and the App of Apps pattern with multiple repos, and apply security best practices. I’ll walk through real-world use cases and challenges that come with a multi-repo structure, including handling dependencies and giving your teams autonomy, without sacrificing security.
Whether you’re a platform engineer scaling GitOps in the enterprise or a dev looking to make your infrastructure modular, this talk will educate you on the patterns and pitfalls of using multiple repos for your Argo CD app.
