Breaking GitOps Bottlenecks: The Power of Sharding
2025-05-20 , Main Stage

Scaling GitOps for large-scale deployments can be challenging with a single repository or controller. This talk explores sharding as a strategy to optimize performance, improve reliability, and manage complexity in GitOps workflows for multi-environment or multi-tenant setups.


As GitOps adoption grows, managing large-scale deployments with a single repository or controller often leads to bottlenecks, reduced performance, and operational challenges. Sharding is an effective strategy to address these limitations by distributing workloads across multiple repositories or controllers.

In this talk, we will:
Introduce the concept of sharding in GitOps.
Discuss when and why sharding is necessary.
Highlight benefits such as improved performance, scalability, and resilience.


Elevator Pitch:

Struggling to scale GitOps? Learn how sharding can boost performance, improve reliability, and simplify multi-tenant or multi-environment workflows. Inthis talk, discover when to shard and how to apply it to your large-scale GitOps deployments
