It's too late to scale up now: how to choose the right metric to scale
CPU and memory are the defaults for scaling up. But in many projects, these metrics react minutes late to issues caused by other areas of the application, thus delaying your autoscaling. In this workshop, we will learn how to hunt for the right metric and how to scale once you find it using Kind, Keda, and Prometheus.
