RESTful API projects often require that developers grant temporary access to a particular resource. Sometimes this happens within a specific interval, such as a few days or months.

With multiple teams working on many projects, having a single pipeline for your software is just not enough. These projects need to be built and integrated before they can be tested and released. So how do dev teams handle this situation? Many teams approach the problem by breaking down software into smaller parts that do less, and are easier to maintain and build. This approach has resulted in the microservices architectures that are increasingly common in our industry.
React, a front-end framework for building user interfaces, uses component-based architecture and non-opinionated design principles, making it a developer favorite. React has been widely adopted and has a large community of developers behind it. Netlify is a popular framework for hosting React applications, but it does not provide your team with the highest level of control over the deployment process.

Today we are going to explore getting started using Argo CD. This post is going to assume you know a bit about containers, and that you already have an empty cluster in place (or know how to create one). If any of this is unfamiliar, head over to Understanding the Basics to get a bit of practice. Before we get started, let’s talk about GitOps.
