Operating High Traffic Websites on Kubernetes

on YouTube ↗20m

" summary

Shows how to run a high‑traffic website on Kubernetes by wiring real tools: nginx ingress on minikube, metrics scraped by Prometheus, and autoscaling driven by KEDA into the HorizontalPodAutoscaler. Demo generates load with Locust, uses nginx metric "active connections" >100 as the trigger, and the ingress replicas grow automatically (observed scaled from 1 to 16 pods), reducing response time—full pipeline built and working end to end.
