Hello,
This project looks pretty cool but i'm concerned about the support due to low rate of activity. Is this project still maintained?

Hey @jbadeau while there is no active development going on (since we consider this to be feature complete for the moment) we still have myself and @jonathan-innis maintaining the project. Please let me know if you have any questions or feedback to share with us or even any feature requests.

Hi,

Thanx for the quick response.

We are looking for a gitops appoach to deploy a data pipeline which would be composed of multiple helm charts. We are currently using helmfile which works but we would like to add better support for daglike task dependencies, error-handling.

Orkestra looks very close to what we need but I'm a bit concerned with the dependency on chart-museum and keptn. We currently use artifactory so would not be using another helm registry. Kepten is cool but if it were optional then that would be preferred.

Also Argo CD now has layers and dependency management, do u think it still makes sens to use orkestra?

I think it makes sense to use orkestra if you want reliable deploy/rollout/rollbacks.Plus the ecosystem that is extendible like the Flux CD, keptn and we have plans for Flux flagger as well. Argo CD is good for simple gitops but doesn't cover all the cases for a DAG rollout. And doesn't integrate well with Argo Rollouts either from what I understand. I would be happy to chat with you or even setup a call if you'd like
