That's just an argument for not doing "implicit GitOps", treating the tip of your monorepo's main branch as the source-of-truth on the correct deployment state of your entire system. ("Implicit GitOps" sorta-ki

No you can't. The closest you could get to this would be: 1. assuming a running process pA on nodeA, registered in a cluster-level process registry by name N; 2. send the process pA's state to a function on node B, which will use
