Mastering Efficiency in Argo CD: Scaling Smarter, Not Costlier - Alexander Matyushentsev, Akuity

Wednesday April 2, 2025 14:30 - 15:00 BST

Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 1-2

Argo CD is a tool that automates the management of Kubernetes clusters and enhances developer productivity. Providing a single pane of glass for managing multiple clusters is a challenging task that requires significant computing resources, which can lead to increased cloud expenses.

Maintainers and Argo CD users have been working collaboratively to identify bottlenecks that drive up cloud costs and develop effective solutions. Many of these findings have been integrated into the product, while others have resulted in best practices that users can adopt to minimize the cost of running Argo CD.

In this presentation, we will explore the architecture of Argo CD and identify components that may incur higher costs as Argo CD scales. We will cover the improvements introduced in recent releases. Finally, we will share best practices that users can follow to optimize the cost of running Argo CD, along with several known edge cases that can be expensive and the corresponding solutions.
