Ease the Pain of Platform Engineers with Argo CD by Leveraging Kustomize Templates

summary
Platform engineers use Argo CD plus Kustomize templates to cut repetitive YAML and speed onboarding, with concrete commands like kustomize build and kustomize edit producing generated manifests (namespace, image tag changes) without creating duplicate files. Templates rely on patches (JSON6902 RFC) and git-backed Kustomize overlays combined with AppProject RBAC to give teams self-service sandboxes. NASDAQ reports fewer indentation errors, faster provisioning, and standardized deployments; auto-apply from build is possible but not recommended.
