Kubernetes-based Event Driven Autoscaling - HTTP Add-on

The KEDA HTTP Add-on allows Kubernetes users to automatically scale their HTTP servers up and down (including to/from zero) based on incoming HTTP traffic.

HTTP Autoscaling Made Simple

KEDA provides a reliable and well tested solution to scaling your workloads based on external events. The project supports a wide variety of scalers - sources of these events, in other words. These scalers are systems that produce precisely measurable events via an API.

KEDA does not, however, include an HTTP-based scaler out of the box for several reasons:

• The concept of an HTTP "event" is not well defined.
• There's no out-of-the-box single system that can provide an API to measure the current number of incoming HTTP events or requests.
• The infrastructure required to achieve these measurements is more complex and, in some cases, needs to be integrated into the HTTP routing system in the cluster (e.g. the ingress controller).

For these reasons, the KEDA core project has purposely not built generic HTTP-based scaling into the core.

This project, often called KEDA-HTTP, exists to provide that scaling. It is composed of simple, isolated components and includes an opinionated way to put them together.
