"Avoiding the Argo Ceiling: Scaling GitOps Without Maxing Out"

January 20, 2026, 8:30am PT | 11:30am ET

Every GitOps journey starts with a honeymoon phase: one cluster, one Argo instance, one happy team. But success creates sprawl. One cluster becomes 50, and the isolation that made Argo secure turns into a management nightmare. We call this "The Argo Ceiling," the breaking point where visibility dies and governance becomes a guessing game.

In this webinar, Harness’ Eric Minick, DevOps enthusiast, Dewan Ishtiaque Ahmed, principal developer advocate, and TNS Host Chris Pirillo will uncover the data from enterprise teams who hit that ceiling. They’ll explain why "Tab Fatigue" and "Glue Code" are the first symptoms of a broken process and reveal the real engineering hours lost to maintaining custom dashboards and brittle orchestration scripts. Finally, Eric and Dewan will dive into how to implement a GitOps control plane to unify your estate without ripping and replacing the tools your developers love.

Highlights:

• Isolation not fragmentation: You should run multiple Argo instances for security, but you shouldn't manage them individually. A control plane gives you the security of isolation with the visibility of centralization.
• Stop writing "glue code": If you are writing a script to trigger a test before a sync, you are building a platform, not shipping features. Orchestration should be a native feature, not a maintenance burden.
• Zero-config governance: At scale, manual role-based access control (RBAC) fails. Enterprise governance means policies are embedded in the pipeline and enforced automatically, eliminating the "security vs. speed" trade-off.
• Adopting GitOps should not mean losing the orchestration of CI/CD. It should instead provide a more developer-friendly and Kubernetes-centric experience. If you’re scripting heavily, something’s gone wrong.
