GitOps workflows have improved deployment visibility and now support confident rollbacks

In terms of improvement for Akuity Platform, I would say that the RBAC and multi-application setup takes time to configure correctly. When errors occur, it is difficult to determine what configuration error happened, requiring detailed analysis to understand what went wrong. I think detailed log analysis with Akuity Platform, especially regarding configuration failures, should be improved. If this is addressed, I would be pleased to learn about it, as it could significantly enhance the documentation.
