How the @#$! Do I Deploy That Many Apps to That Many Clusters? How Adobe Scaled on GitOps
summary
Adobe models a system that bootstraps and manages ~285 clusters (28 regions, ~20,000 nodes, ~2,000 GPUs) and ~75–100 system apps per cluster — about 200,000 Kubernetes resources — using Argo CD, Cluster API, Argo Workflows and Argo Events to detect new clusters, upsert cluster details and have ApplicationSets generate apps automatically. App of Apps remains useful, Progressive rollouts exist but are paused for now due to alpha gotchas; multi-instance/control‑plane splitting handles scale.
