Overview
Horizontal autoscaling adds pods when a metric crosses a threshold. It only works if requests are set and your app starts quickly.
In this lesson you will:
- Scale pods on CPU or custom metrics
- Tune thresholds to avoid flapping
- Combine pod autoscaling with cluster autoscaling
Pro Tip
Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
