Best Free Auto Scaling Software

Google Compute Engine's auto scaling feature automatically adjusts the number of virtual machine instances in response to fluctuations in traffic or workload demands. This ensures that applications maintain optimal performance without manual intervention and helps to reduce unnecessary costs by scaling down when demand is low. Users can configure scaling policies based on specific criteria, such as CPU utilization or request rate, to further customize how resources are allocated. New customers receive $300 in free credits, enabling them to test and fine-tune auto scaling for their unique workloads.

AWS Auto Scaling monitors your applications and automatically adjusts capacity to maintain steady, predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. Using AWS Auto Scaling, it’s easy to setup application scaling for multiple resources across multiple services in minutes. The service provides a simple, powerful user interface that lets you build scaling plans for resources including Amazon EC2 instances and Spot Fleets, Amazon ECS tasks, Amazon DynamoDB tables and indexes, and Amazon Aurora Replicas. AWS Auto Scaling makes scaling simple with recommendations that allow you to optimize performance, costs, or balance between them. If you’re already using Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling to dynamically scale your Amazon EC2 instances, you can now combine it with AWS Auto Scaling to scale additional resources for other AWS services. With AWS Auto Scaling, your applications always have the right resources at the right time.

StarTree, powered by Apache Pinot™, is a fully managed real-time analytics platform built for customer-facing applications that demand instant insights on the freshest data.

StormForge Optimize Live continuously rightsizes Kubernetes workloads to ensure cloud-native applications are both cost effective and performant while removing developer toil. As a vertical rightsizing solution, Optimize Live is autonomous, tunable, and works seamlessly with the Kubernetes horizontal pod autoscaler (HPA) at enterprise scale. Optimize Live addresses both over- and under-provisioned workloads by analyzing usage data with advanced machine learning to recommend optimal resource requests and limits. Recommendations can be deployed automatically on a flexible schedule, accounting for changes in traffic patterns or application resource requirements, ensuring that workloads are always right-sized, and freeing developers from the toil and cognitive load of infrastructure sizing. Organizations see immediate benefits from the reduction of wasted resources — leading to cost savings of 40-60% along with performance and reliability improvements across the entire estate.
