Tools and utilities

  • Xata: open-source Postgres platform on Kubernetes

    Xata is a Kubernetes-native Postgres platform for running many databases with copy-on-write branching, scale-to-zero, autoscaling, HA, backups, REST APIs, CLI, and RBAC.

  • KSail: Kubernetes SDK

    KSail is a unified Kubernetes SDK that simplifies cluster management and workload deployment by providing a single, declarative interface for all your Kubernetes operations.

  • KEDA GPU Scaler

    KEDA GPU Scaler is a KEDA external scaler that reads NVIDIA GPU metrics through NVML and autoscalers vLLM, Triton, training jobs, and custom inference workloads without requiring Prometheus.

  • Kube Startup CPU Boost

    Kube Startup CPU Boost is a tool that increases CPU resource requests and limits during Kubernetes workload startup time and then returns them to their original values once the workload is up and running.

  • EgressGateway: egress IPs for pods

    EgressGateway provides stable egress IP addresses for pods accessing external services.

The Hidden Cost of Slow Autoscaling
The Hidden Cost of Slow Autoscaling

Forced platform migrations are usually treated as something to survive. At Scout24, a mandatory OS migration became an opportunity to rethink Kubernetes autoscaling, node provisioning, and infrastructure efficiency.

John Ford explains how Scout24 moved its EKS-based Infinity platform from a polling autoscaler and over-provisioned capacity to Karpenter and Bottlerocket. The result was faster node startup, a safer migration path, and about a 30% infrastructure reduction without major downtime.

In this interview:

  • Why two-minute node provisioning forced a 25% capacity buffer
  • How Karpenter made the Bottlerocket migration safer
  • What broke around EC2 metadata, AWS SDKs, and cgroups
  • How the new foundation enables Spot, ARM, and GPU workloads
