What role did horizontal pod autoscalers (HPA) play in optimizing the application's performance post-migration?
assistant
The client's application previously faced scalability issues during peak trading hours, leading to performance degradation. To address this, John Mosquera implemented horizontal pod autoscalers (HPA) in Kubernetes, which dynamically adjusted the number of running pods based on real-time resource utilization. This ensured that the application could automatically scale up to handle increased demand and scale down during off-peak periods, optimizing resource usage and cost efficiency. By implementing horizontal pod autoscalers, John Mosquera ensured that the application could dynamically scale based on demand, improving performance during peak hours while optimizing cost efficiency.
