It&rsquo;s great, no complaints. Before all this we were only scaling on CPU and memory with the normal HPA. Which is fine until it isn&rsquo;t — CPU and memory are lagging indicators, by the time they spike you&rsquo;re already in trouble. So I started looking at KEDA because I wanted to scale on something that actually meant something, like queue depth. Nobody asked for it, I just thought it was the right call.</p>
