When CPU/memory-based HPA on K3s can't keep up with event-driven workloads, should you extend HPA or adopt KEDA, the CNCF-graduated project? Here's a 3-point decision framework, plus what to watch for on K3s.
You set up an HPA in K3s and Pods still won't scale. The usual culprits are unset resource requests silently disabling metrics, and a self-reinforcing HPA/VPA feedback loop. Here's how to diagnose and fix it.
When adding more Pods to Kubernetes doesn't fix latency, the real cause may not be CPU at all, but invisible throttling or database connection pool exhaustion. Here's how to diagnose and fix the hidden ceiling.
Master Kubernetes autoscaling with HPA, VPA, and KEDA. Learn each tool's strengths, combination patterns, and cost optimization impact with practical examples.
