Scaling your Platform without Sacrificing Predictability

September 24, 2024

There is a wealth of information on scaling Kubernetes to handle increases in traffic load—but what about an increase in developer demand, or a sudden doubling of business requirements? Scaling on these axes typically means adding components to your ecosystem. But just how many software components does the average Kubernetes platform use? And how do you join that many pieces together without resulting in disaster? We'll be joined by Rhys Oxenham, Senior Director of Field Product Management and Engineering at SUSE, who has spent 15 years exploring these questions with companies around the world, and we'll uncover some surprising answers.
