Comparing HPA and KEDA: Choosing the Right Tool for Kubernetes Autoscaling
In Kubernetes, autoscaling is key to ensuring application performance while managing infrastructure costs. Two powerful tools that help achieve this are the Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) and Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA). While they share the goal of scaling workloads, their approaches and capabilities are actually very different and distinct.
In this introductory blog, we will provide a bird's eye view of how they compare, and when you might choose one over the other.
