KEDA: Unlocking Advanced Event-Driven Scaling for Kubernetes
Talkat KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2025 · on Wednesday, 2025-04-02· at 14:30· Platinum Suite | Level 3 | Room 3-4·
summary
KEDA presents concrete features: 70+ scalers (RabbitMQ, Prometheus, Kafka, SQS via community PRs), a scale-to-zero flow that uses a ScaleObject to extend HPA, and a job-mode for stateful runners; demos show HTTP interceptors that hold the first request to bootstrap pods (websockets still pending). New additions include OpenTelemetry integration, admission webhooks, auth improvements, metric caching and a composable scaling modifiers engine for math-based replica calculation; predictive scaling and an Otel collector add-on are on the roadmap.
