Whether it’s database connections, queue length, or request latency, custom metrics scaling allows you to adapt your infrastructure to your application’s unique needs. Let’s explore how to implement this in a production environment. Why Custom Metrics Scaling? Traditional resource-based scaling (CPU/memory) often fails to capture the true load on your system. Consider these scenarios: ...
