summary
Small platform team migrates a decade-old Marathon/Chronos setup to Kubernetes using ArgoCD as the central delivery engine, Helm charts, Istio for traffic, KEDA for scaling, Prometheus for telemetry and Terraform/Atlantis for cloud provisioning. They build reusable Git-driven ArgoCD application sets and automated cluster bootstrapping so one button spawns labeled AWS accounts and clusters; deployments scale to dozens of environments, cluster creation takes ~20–25 minutes, and production runs with zero alerts while the old platform suffers outages.
