System Architecture Overview

This section provides a high-level overview of the architecture and design decisions behind the project. It outlines the system's core components, their responsibilities, and how they interact.

Design Philosophy

Summarise your approach or values. Examples:

  • Modular and composable
  • Secure by default
  • Automation-first (e.g., IaC, CI/CD)
  • Portable/local-dev friendly

Core Components

1. Infrastructure

  • Describe how infrastructure is provisioned (e.g., Terraform, Pulumi)
  • Where it's deployed (e.g., local Kind cluster, cloud, etc.)
  • Example:
  • Kind cluster created via task dev
  • Terraform used to manage Argo CD and related resources

2. CI/CD

  • What tools handle deployment?
  • Example:
  • Argo CD handles Kubernetes app delivery using the App of Apps pattern
  • Image updates via argocd-image-updater
  • Optional notification layer (e.g., Slack integration)

3. Secrets & Configuration

  • Mention secret handling (e.g., Sealed Secrets, SOPS, Vault)
  • Config management tools (e.g., Helm, Kustomize)

Add a visual overview of your system if available.

Data / Control Flow

Explain the high-level lifecycle or data flow:

  1. User runs task dev
  2. Terraform provisions resources
  3. Argo CD bootstraps itself and deploys other apps
  4. Image updater checks container registries and pushes updates
  5. Notifications triggered via webhook → Slack
