KEDA

Kubernetes event-driven autoscaler that scales workloads based on the number of events needing processing, including scaling to zero.

Overview

KEDA extends Kubernetes' native autoscaling to react to external event sources - queue depth, stream lag, custom metrics - rather than just CPU and memory usage, and can scale a workload all the way down to zero when there's no work to do, saving resources during idle periods. It supports dozens of event source integrations out of the box.

KEDA is a fit for teams running event-driven workloads on Kubernetes - processing messages from Kafka, RabbitMQ, or NATS (also in this catalog), for example - who want autoscaling that reacts to actual workload demand rather than proxy metrics like CPU.
