December 2022 Summaries

In 2022, Codefresh experienced significant growth, driven by its commitment to enhancing software delivery through advanced CI/CD tooling and a robust developer experience. The company received accolades for its ease of use and flexibility, particularly in working with Terraform and Argo, which was reflected in user reviews on platforms like G2. Codefresh launched a unified GitOps platform, expanding its capabilities to include features like canary and blue/green deployments, powered by Argo, and focused on enhancing traceability and deployment management. The year also saw the successful training of over 16,000 users in GitOps, the introduction of a community Discord, and the announcement of a donation program for free certification, aiming to make GitOps accessible to more people. Additionally, Codefresh played a pivotal role in the graduation of the Argo Project, marking a significant milestone following the first in-person ArgoCon event. As Codefresh enters 2023, it plans to further streamline software delivery processes, leveraging its platform's ability to track changes across environments to provide unique insights, thereby focusing on removing barriers to software delivery for developers and DevOps engineers.

The Argo Project, initiated in 2017 by Applatix and later expanded by companies like BlackRock, Codefresh, and RedHat, has achieved graduation status within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), marking its mainstream adoption. With substantial contributions and a broad user base, Argo has significantly impacted how development and operations teams deliver software and utilize Kubernetes, with applications ranging from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to companies like Tesla and Google. The project is renowned for its tools, particularly Argo CD and Argo Workflows, which facilitate GitOps practices and Kubernetes-native CI/CD pipelines, respectively. The CNCF graduation, which follows rigorous security, governance, and user-adoption criteria, underscores Argo’s maturity and widespread acceptance. As the project continues to evolve, its community remains committed to innovation and expansion, driven by a user-friendly and reliable approach that has fostered significant adoption across various industries.
