Why the models rank Flux — on best gitops tools for managing infrastructure and applications together
“Lean, composable controllers, strong Helm and Kustomize automation, OCI-native delivery, image updates, dependency ordering, and decentralized multi-tenancy make it exceptionally good for bootstrapping clusters and continuously managing both add-ons and workloads; nearly tied with Argo CD and arguably better for infrastructure-first teams”
