ArgoCD does a great job with basic drift detection, self-healing and auto-sync, but in real-world enterprise environments, not all drift is equal. Scaling a deployment isn’t the same as deleting a secret, and treating them the same can lead to trouble. In this talk, we’ll walk through how to extend ArgoCD to handle drift more intelligently. Using Custom Health Checks, ApplicationSets, Resource Hooks, and a custom controller, we built a system that understands the severity of changes and responds accordingly by auto-remediating safe changes, triggering approvals for sensitive updates, and rolling back when things go wrong. This talk is ideal for platform engineers, SREs, and DevOps teams looking to evolve their GitOps strategy with smarter automation, policy enforcement, and enterprise-grade reliability.
