Scaling Cloud-Native CI/CD with Jenkins and the Argo Projects
summary
Compares running Jenkins and Argo Workflows together with Argo CD and Argo Rollouts and shows a working end-to-end pipeline that handles rendering manifests, sync via Argo CLI and canary deployments with automated analysis and rollback backed by Prometheus; backs claims with Intuit scale numbers — about 6,000 developers and 100,000 builds daily on ~150 nodes and 200 Jenkins controllers — and reports 90% cost reduction after moving CI to Argo using the one-step-one-pod model plus memoization, BuildKit and spel, with concrete migration tips and cluster sizing notes.
