Operating High Traffic Websites on Kubernetes

" summary

Demonstrates scaling an Ingress controller on a Minikube cluster by scraping nginx_ingress_active_connections with Prometheus and feeding those metrics into KEDA to drive the HorizontalPodAutoscaler. Demo uses Locust to generate load, sets a threshold of ~100 active connections, and automatically increases Ingress replicas then scales back down when load subsides. Shows the exact CRD used (ScaledObject) and a working Helm-based install of Prometheus, nginx-ingress, KEDA — live demo succeeds and reproduces the scaling behavior.
