Summary

Codefresh has recently introduced three major features to its platform: dashboards for DORA metrics, support for external Continuous Integration systems, and a hosted GitOps service powered by Argo CD. This new hosted GitOps experience allows users, even those with free accounts, to deploy applications to Kubernetes clusters without maintaining their own Argo CD installation. The platform's onboarding process is streamlined into three simple steps, and it provides a fully managed service alongside the existing hybrid option for organizations with existing ArgoCD installations. Users can connect their Git providers, such as GitHub, to store application configurations, and the platform supports automatic Git commits for any actions taken within the Codefresh interface. With a focus on GitOps principles, users can deploy applications efficiently, leveraging the topology view for a graphical representation of their infrastructure and managing multiple deployment clusters. The platform emphasizes automation and ease of use, enabling quick adoption of GitOps methodologies, and invites users to explore these capabilities further through the hosted Argo CD service.
