Decision brief
Argo Workflows, an open-source workflow engine for Kubernetes implemented as a CRD, is popular due to its lightweight design, scalability, and extensive artifact support.
Good fit when
- When orchestrating container-native workflows for tasks like machine learning or data processing on Kubernetes
- For CI/CD processes where cloud agnostic solutions are needed across any Kubernetes cluster
Avoid when
- In non-Kubernetes environments due to its tight integration with Kubernetes CRDs and native features
- For legacy system migrations that require significant VM and server-based overheads, as Argo Workflows is container-centric without such layers
