Helm Consulting & Chart Development

Package, version, and deploy Kubernetes applications with Helm charts.

Fremen Consulting provides Helm consulting for Kubernetes application packaging — custom chart development, repository management, values schema design, and GitOps integration with Argo CD for repeatable deployments.

Common Challenges

Problems we solve for businesses like yours

Raw YAML sprawl

Copy-pasted Kubernetes manifests across environments create drift and make updates error-prone — every change requires editing dozens of files manually.

Undocumented configuration

Helm values files without schema validation or documentation mean deployers guess at required settings, causing misconfigurations in production.

Chart versioning chaos

Informal chart versioning without semver or changelog discipline makes rollbacks unreliable and environment promotion unpredictable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions in this industry

What Helm consulting do you offer?

We develop custom Helm charts, set up chart repositories, implement values schema validation, integrate Helm with Argo CD GitOps, and train teams on Helm best practices.

Do you migrate raw Kubernetes YAML to Helm?

Yes. We convert existing Kubernetes manifests into parameterized Helm charts with environment-specific values files, reducing duplication and enabling GitOps workflows.

Which chart repositories do you support?

We set up Harbor, ChartMuseum, AWS ECR OCI, and Google Artifact Registry for Helm chart storage with access control and CI publishing pipelines.

How does Helm work with Argo CD?

Argo CD natively supports Helm charts as a source type. We configure Argo CD Applications to deploy Helm releases with environment-specific values, enabling GitOps for chart-based deployments.

How long does Helm chart development take?

A production-ready chart for one application takes one to two weeks. A shared chart library for multiple services typically takes four to six weeks.
