Scaling a Distributed Stream Processor in a Containerized Environment
The article presents our experience of scaling a distributed stream processor in Kubernetes. The stream processor should provide support for maintaining the optimal level of parallelism. However, adding more resources incurs additional cost and also it does not guarantee performance improvements. Instead, the stream processor should identify the level of resource requirement and scale accordingly.
