Finally, FluxCD has a GUI. People say it looks like ArgoCD. I’ve never used Argo, but if that’s true, it’s a good move from the FluxCD team.

The main reason for Flux’s lower adoption, in my opinion, was the lack of out-of-the-box visibility. Many people want to see the status of resources directly, rather than rely on custom notifications from their own systems or parse logs when an update hasn’t been delivered as expected.

At my current workplace, I built a feedback system that shows the current state inside a GitLab pipeline, but this approach is not efficient. It doesn’t make sense that every company has to build its own solution and spend time on this just because the tool doesn’t provide a default feedback mechanism, such as an UI.
