The power of prediction

When deploying microservices in production clusters, it is critical to automatically scale containers to improve cluster utilization and ensure service level agreements (SLA). Although reactive scaling approaches work well for monolithic architectures, they are not necessarily suitable for microservice frameworks due to the long delay caused by complex microservice call chains. In contrast, existing proactive approaches leverage end-to-end performance prediction for scaling, but cannot effectively handle microservice multiplexing and dynamic microservice dependencies.
