How Zapier runs isolated tasks on AWS Lambda and upgrades functions at scale

Zapier snaps each customer Zap into its ownAWS Lambda, cradled inside leanFirecracker microVMs. It wrangles 100k+ functions under anEKScontrol plane and inventory DB. When runtimes retire, Zapier swings into action: a set ofTerraform modulespaired with a customLambda canary tool. Traffic trickles in.. read more

Building a Secure, Scalable, and Automated Cloud-Native Platform on AWS with EKS, GitOps, and…

The blueprint carves out production-grade AWS infra. Terraform orchestrates VPCs with public and private subnets, deploys a Bastion host, spins up private EKS clusters, and stands up an internet-facing ALB armed with SSL/TLS. Argo CD drives GitOps. The CI pipeline runs SAST, builds Docker images, hu.. read more

Critical VMware Tools VGAuth Vulnerabilities Enable Full System Access for Attackers
At its core, Argo CD treats Git as the single source of truth for application definitions. You declare the desired state of your Kubernetes applications in Git (manifests, Helm charts, Kustomize overlays), and Argo CD continuously compares that desired state with what is actually running in the cluster. When drift is detected, it can alert you or automatically reconcile the cluster back to the Git-defined state.

Argo CD runs inside Kubernetes and provides:

- Declarative application management
- Automated or manual sync from Git to cluster
- Continuous drift detection and health assessment
- Rollbacks by reverting Git commits
- Fine-grained RBAC and multi-cluster support

It integrates natively with common Kubernetes configuration formats:

- Plain YAML
- Helm
- Kustomize
- Jsonnet

Operationally, Argo CD exposes both a web UI and CLI, making it easy to visualize application state, deployment history, diffs, and sync status. It is commonly used in platform engineering and SRE teams to standardize deployments, reduce configuration drift, and enforce auditability.

Argo CD is part of the Argo Project, which is hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), and is widely adopted in production Kubernetes environments ranging from startups to large enterprises.
