The GitOps tool that coined the term — continuously reconciles a Kubernetes cluster against a Git repo.
Weaveworks (creator) shut down as a company in 2024, but Flux graduated CNCF in 2022 and is carried on by the community. Flux v2 (2021) is written in Go and modular: Source Controller, Kustomize Controller, Helm Controller. Supports Image Automation (auto-bump image tag in Git when a new build runs). Competition: Argo CD (same idea, more UI-heavy). Many teams pick Argo CD for the UI.
