Build a GitOps Rollout Pipeline with ArgoCD Progressive Delivery
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Build a GitOps Rollout Pipeline with ArgoCD Progressive Delivery. Advanced challenge in code. Writing production code that solves real engineering problems, ...
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Stand up an ArgoCD + Argo Rollouts GitOps pipeline with progressive delivery and SLO-driven auto-rollback for one service, then ship the playbook for the remaining 24.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Stand up ArgoCD with the app-of-apps pattern and Helm overlays
- Convert Deployments to Argo Rollouts with canary steps
- Write Prometheus analysis templates that drive auto-pause + rollback
- Document a GitOps pipeline cleanly enough for the team to adopt
