Flux Deployment Architecture/Models

[suseendare]

Hi Team,
Do we have recommendations/suggestions/architecture models on deploying Flux for production grade application?

For example, Argo has something - https://codefresh.io/blog/a-comprehensive-overview-of-argo-cd-architectures-2023/

A single Flux instance with the default limits for controllers 1CPU/1Gi RAM can manager thousands apps with ease. We do have documentation on how to make Flux run at scale here:

• Vertical scaling https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/configuration/vertical-scaling/
• Horizontal scaling https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/configuration/sharding/
• Multi-tenancy https://fluxcd.io/flux/installation/configuration/multitenancy/

Starting with Flux 2.2.0 (scheduled for release next week) we publish benchmarks for running Flux at scale, see https://github.com/fluxcd/flux-benchmark

Thanks Stefan
