OwnKube scales your applications up and down based on real-time traffic and resource utilization. Stop paying for capacity your apps never touch.

How autoscaling works

OwnKube monitors CPU, memory, and request metrics to make scaling decisions:
  • Scale up when resource utilization exceeds thresholds
  • Scale down when demand decreases to save costs
  • Scale to zero for non-production environments during idle periods

Configuration

Set min/max replicas and target utilization through the OwnKube dashboard:
scaling:
  min_replicas: 1
  max_replicas: 10
  target_cpu_utilization: 70
  target_memory_utilization: 80

Smart spot instance placement

OwnKube places workloads on AWS spot instances where appropriate, saving up to 70% on compute costs. The platform handles interruptions with automatic failover to on-demand instances — your users never notice.
