Hello Guys, I was wondering how you guys do autoscaling of you consumers in kubernetes if you do any.
We have a mirrormaker-like app that mirrors data from cluster to cluster at the same time does some topic routing. I would like to add hpa to the app in order to scale up/down depending on avg cpu. but as you know a consumer app has lots of variables being partitions of topics being consumed a pretty important one. Since kubernetes checks cpu avg, there are chances that pods/consumers won't be scaled up to the number of partitions possibly creating some hot spots. Anyways i would like to know how you deal if you do at all with this. thanks!
