Amazon CloudWatch
Amazon CloudWatch is a monitoring and observability service built for DevOps engineers, developers, site reliability engineers (SREs), and IT managers. CloudWatch provides you with data and actionable insights to monitor your applications, respond to system-wide performance changes, optimize resource utilization, and get a unified view of operational health. CloudWatch collects monitoring and operational data in the form of logs, metrics, and events, providing you with a unified view of AWS resources, applications, and services that run on AWS and on-premises servers. You can use CloudWatch to detect anomalous behavior in your environments, set alarms, visualize logs and metrics side by side, take automated actions, troubleshoot issues, and discover insights to keep your applications. CloudWatch alarms watch your metric values against thresholds that you specify or that it creates using ML models to detect anomalous behavior.

Skaffold
Skaffold is an open source command-line tool that streamlines the development workflow for Kubernetes applications. It automates the processes of building, pushing, and deploying your application, allowing you to focus on writing code. Skaffold supports various tools and technologies, offering flexibility in choosing your preferred build and deployment methods. It features a pluggable architecture, enabling integration with different implementations of the build and deploy stages. Skaffold is lightweight, operating entirely on the client side without adding overhead or maintenance burdens to your Kubernetes cluster. It facilitates fast local Kubernetes development by detecting source code changes and handling the pipeline to build, push, test, and deploy your application automatically. Skaffold also provides continuous feedback by managing deployment logging and resource port-forwarding. Its context-aware capabilities allow the use of profiles, local user configurations, etc.

StormForge
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.
