Argo CD SIG Scalability

• docs: add scalability benchmarking proposal #12662

Check out the argocd-diff-action

The argocd-diff-action improves feedback on pull requests in GitOps repos integrated with ArgoCD.

A fork of an existing action that was abandoned (quizlet/argocd-diff-action). Unfortunately, it was missing some key features (e.g., the ability to exclude paths, support for diffing Apps of Apps) and has some long standing bugs (quizlet/argocd-diff-action#8).

I am working to bring it up to date with a focus on using CI to keep the feedback cycles short and encourage single piece flow. The CI for the action has already come along way, with improvements such as:

• ci: auto-merge Dependabot minor version updates #13
• ci(release): add semantic-release workflow #4
• ci(checks): add jest coverage comment to prs #33

Check out my PRs on the action for a sense of how I like to collaborate!
