No More Pipelines: Reconciling Environment Promotion Via Commit Statuses W...
summary
Claim: replace imperative promotion pipelines with a declarative, Git-driven flow that gates environment moves using commit statuses. Platform teams run an Argo CD 2.14 source hydrator to push per-environment proposed and active branches, create PRs, and use the GitOps Promoter controller plus a CommitStatus CRD to post real and synthetic commit statuses that block merges until Argo CD app health and other checks pass. A live demo shows the Argo CD health controller working end-to-end and GitLab support already merged.
