LinkedIn Replaces Argo CD with In-House GitOps Engine for Kubernetes Deployments

LinkedIn has replaced Argo CD with a custom GitOps engine that deploys applications across more than 250 Kubernetes clusters. The system supports over 4,000 services and handles more than 100,000 deployments each week. The change was disclosed in a recent LinkedIn engineering post.

Why it matters: Teams running GitOps at scale can compare LinkedIn's reasons and design trade-offs against their own reliance on off-the-shelf tools like Argo CD.
