December 2024 performance snapshot for codefresh-io/gitops-runtime-helm. Delivered two critical features and fixed key configuration bugs to improve deployment flexibility, reliability, and resource efficiency. Key achievements include (1) Dynamic Runtime Configuration for GitOps App Proxy: added isConfigurationRuntime to the app-proxy config map in runtime Helm charts, enabling environment-aware dynamic configuration (commits ffdf7a397f22f5c0fb1575bfc3955a5163b22f73; d0c155e42d9c16218be68704ae223cc7727969b5). (2) Argo Workflows Upgrade and Resource Allocation Tuning: upgraded Argo Workflows to 0.45.1-v3.6.2-cap-CR-26293 and removed ephemeral-storage limits for the executor to align with the new version (commit aacfa81e854cf0e871c0a9885a611bd931061ad5). (3) Bug fixes: refined isConfigurationRuntime value and its placement in the app-proxy configuration to address issues reported in #352 and #353. The work delivers measurable business value by enabling runtime-adaptive deployments, reducing misconfig risk, and optimizing resource usage across environments. Technologies and skills demonstrated include Kubernetes, Helm charts, GitOps automation, and Argo Workflows orchestration and tuning.
