Keel: Automated Kubernetes Deployments Without GitOps Overhead

The orthodox answer to “how should my Kubernetes cluster deploy updates” is GitOps: Argo CD or Flux watching a Git repository, reconciling the cluster to match declared state, the whole pull-based pipeline. It is genuinely the right answer for a team shipping a product. For a homelab cluster running Sonarr, a couple of dashboards, and the odd hobby project, it is also a small mountain of YAML, a controller to babysit, and a Git workflow you have to actually follow. Sometimes you just want third-party images to update themselves when a new tag lands, without standing up a GitOps engine to do it.
