Watch this if you are curious to see an example of GitOps with Qovery:

#What's GitOps?

GitOps is a methodology that uses Git repositories as the single source of truth for infrastructure and application code. Changes to the infrastructure are made through Git commits, which triggers automated processes to update the infrastructure accordingly.

#Benefits of GitOps

• Streamlined Workflows: Manage infrastructure and application code in a single place.
• Consistency and Reliability: Every change is versioned and auditable, reducing configuration drift.
• Enhanced Collaboration: Teams can collaborate better using familiar Git workflows.
• Automated Deployments: Reduces manual intervention and human error, speeding up deployments.

If you are unfamiliar with the GitOps concept, I recommend this introduction from GitLab.

#Why Manage Qovery in a GitOps Way?

Managing Qovery through GitOps combines the power of Git with Qovery’s robust platform:

• Unified Management: Manage all Qovery configurations from one repository.
• Improved Efficiency: Automated processes handle deployments, reducing the need for manual work.
• Enhanced Control: Git workflows ensure that all changes are tracked and reviewed.

#Limitations of GitOps with Qovery

Once you start managing Qovery with GitOps, it's recommended to only make changes through GitOps to avoid resource drift. Drift occurs when the actual state of your infrastructure differs from the state defined in Git, leading to inconsistencies and potential issues. The Qovery web console remains useful for reading information and quickly testing and validating changes but should be used cautiously to prevent drift.
