Guide
About to Deploy Argo CD?
Read This First.
Argo CD runs in nearly 60% of Kubernetes clusters in production — but the architecture you choose determines whether it scales with you or slows you down. This guide cuts through the tradeoffs so you can make the right call for your team.
Built by the creators of Argo CD and Kargo, Akuity provides enterprise-ready delivery, continuous promotion and AI-powered intelligence to
modernize application delivery.
Inside, you'll get:
A plain-language breakdown of the four most common production architectures — Single Instance, Per Cluster, Hybrid, and Agent-Based
The security, scalability, and operational trade-offs of each model — so you know what you're signing up for before you commit
A decision framework that maps your team size, fleet size, and priorities to the right architecture
Patterns drawn from 100+ enterprises and 43 million deployments — written by the creators of the Argo project
