Deep dives
Origins and Development of Argo
The inception of Argo was driven by the need for better orchestration of pipelines within Kubernetes, which effectively handles stateless applications but struggles with long-running processes. Initially developed by a startup called Applatics, the project gained traction when Intuit acquired the company and its technology to enhance their Kubernetes capabilities. The project eventually evolved into a comprehensive suite, incorporating various tools that address specific user needs, such as workflow management and continuous delivery. This development underscored a collaborative effort to adapt Kubernetes to a wider range of application requirements, making Argo a significant player in the cloud-native landscape.
