Kubernetes Pod Autoscaling with KEDA: Queue Depth Beats CPU Every Time

Kubernetes Pod Autoscaling with KEDA: Queue Depth Beats CPU Every Time

Kubernetes HPA with CPU metrics fails for queue-based workloads. Learn why queue depth is the right signal, how KEDA makes event-driven autoscaling trivial, and the configuration that reduced processing latency from 45 minutes to 5-15 minutes with zero manual scaling. »
