    2 releases in the last 90 days, the latest 31 days ago, with 456 contributors on GitHub.

    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides event-driven autoscaling for Kubernetes workloads using custom resource definitions and native integration with Kubernetes components.
    • Enables fine-grained autoscaling including scaling to and from zero without external dependencies, supporting both cloud and edge environments.
    • Use for scaling containerized applications based on event sources like message queues or streams in Kubernetes clusters.
    • Use for implementing serverless workloads that require dynamic scaling triggered by external events in cloud-native environments.
    • Use for optimizing resource usage in edge computing scenarios by autoscaling workloads according to real-time event metrics.

    From the README

    Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling

    KEDA allows for fine-grained autoscaling (including to/from zero) for event driven Kubernetes workloads. KEDA serves as a Kubernetes Metrics Server and allows users to define autoscaling rules using a dedicated Kubernetes custom resource definition.

    KEDA can run on both the cloud and the edge, integrates natively with Kubernetes components such as the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler, and has no external dependencies.

    We are a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) graduated project.

    You can find several samples for various event sources here.

    There are many ways to deploy KEDA including Helm, Operator Hub and YAML files.
