How to ensure your Kubernetes Pods have enough memory

Memory (or RAM, short for random-access memory) is a finite and critical computing resource. The amount of RAM in a system dictates the number and complexity of processes that can run on the system, and running out of RAM can cause significant problems, including: This problem can be mitigated using clustered platforms like Kubernetes, where you can add or remove RAM capacity by adding or removing nodes on-demand.

Intro to Speedscale

Speedscale is a Y-Combinator backed startup that helps Kubernetes engineering teams build resilient and performant containerized apps. Our production traffic replication platform is a more reliable, cost-effective, and scalable way to test and deliver cloud-native software applications. Unlike other tools, we use agents/sidecars to record and playback sanitized traffic that you see in prod. With Speedscale, engineers can generate load, simulate production conditions, and mock third party backends modeled after real traffic patterns.
