Argo Stack — Event-Driven GitOps

What is the Argo project?

Argo is a suite of CNCF-graduated Kubernetes-native tools:

• ArgoCD — GitOps continuous delivery (covered in Advanced / GitOps with ArgoCD)
• Argo Workflows — Engine for orchestrating parallel jobs and pipelines
• Argo Events — Event-based dependency manager that triggers workflows

Together they form an event-driven GitOps pipeline: code push → events → workflow → deploy.

What we'll build

A webhook-triggered pipeline on your local kind cluster:

curl (simulating a push)
  → Argo Events EventSource (webhook)
  → EventBus (Redis)
  → Sensor (triggers on payload)
  → Argo Workflows (WorkflowTemplate)
  → ArgoCD sync (app deploys)

No GitHub or ngrok required — all local.

Prerequisites

• kind cluster running (Beginner / Local Cluster)
• ArgoCD installed (Advanced page 06)
• kubectl configured and pointing at your kind cluster

Pages

1. Overview (this page)
2. Argo Events — EventBus, webhook EventSource, Sensor
3. Argo Workflows — WorkflowTemplate, steps, submit
4. Pipeline — wire Events → Workflow → ArgoCD sync
5. Teardown — clean up
