LIVE WORKSHOP
Event-driven vs. Resource-based: Choosing the Right Scaling Approach for K8s Workloads
Tuesday, June 24, 2025 | 12:00PM EST
Join us for a practical, hands-on session where we dig into the real-world challenges of Kubernetes autoscaling—and how to solve them with event-driven scaling and intelligent optimization.
Led by Zbyněk Roubalík (Founder and CTO of Kedify, KEDA Founding Maintainer), this live session will showcase a full-stack scaling scenario: from activating HTTP-based autoscaling with KEDA to right-sizing misconfigured workloads with PerfectScale.
Expect honest insights, live demos, and zero fluff. Whether you’re running multi-cluster workloads, facing scaling bottlenecks, or just tired of overpaying for underperforming infrastructure, you’ll leave with playbooks you can use immediately.
What We’ll Cover:
- Live demo: enabling KEDA-based event-driven scaling in a sandbox cluster
- Where event-based scaling hits limits (and how PerfectScale fills the gap)
- How to detect and fix misprovisioned workloads using historical and real-time data
- Before/after performance snapshots of optimized vs. unoptimized clusters
- Tips for reducing scaling toil and increasing visibility across environments
Who Should Attend:
- DevOps and SRE teams supporting dynamic or multi-cloud workloads
- Infra and platform leads looking to automate and right-size container resources
- Anyone scaling HTTP, queue-based, or scheduled jobs in Kubernetes
No signups. No gatekeeping. Just open access to a live environment (via Killer Coda) and a conversation grounded in reality.
