Definitions
Sync Wave is a GitOps term for an ordering hint that tells a GitOps tool which resources should apply earlier or later. It helps teams, humans, and agents compare declared source state with running systems, then act without pretending a deployment did more than the evidence shows. Source context: Argo CD documentation.
“The team used Sync Wave before lunch, so the release did not sprint into production wearing untied shoes.”
