cloud-native auto-scaling system for application components

KEDA is a Kubernetes event-driven autoscaler and cloud event scaling engine. It functions as a custom metrics provider that monitors external event sources—including message brokers, databases, and cloud metrics—to dynamically adjust the replica counts of containerized workloads. The project is distinguished by its scale-to-zero workflow, which reduces workloads to zero replicas during inactivity and automatically restarts them when new events are detected. It operates as a multi-cloud event trigger system, using a pluggable scaler interface to integrate with a wide array of third-party servi

Kubernetes-based, scale-to-zero, request-driven compute

Kubernetes is a distributed container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications across clusters of computing nodes. It functions as a declarative infrastructure controller, utilizing a control loop architecture that continuously monitors the current system state against user-defined configurations to ensure desired operational outcomes. The system relies on a centralized API-driven interface and a replicated key-value store to maintain a consistent source of truth for all cluster objects. The platform distinguishes itself throu
