Scaling Azure Container Apps: Maximize Performance and Minimize Costs

on YouTube ↗57m

" summary

Azure Container Apps uses KEDA scalers (about 74 built‑in) to auto‑scale HTTP, queue and cron triggers; demos show HTTP polling defaults to 30s (demo used 10s) and a 60s cooldown, scale to zero idle pricing, and a queue demo processing 1,000 images with massive replica churn. Jobs run one image per execution with parallelism controls. Choice between consumption vs dedicated workload profiles affects cost and reserved performance; GPUs are available pay‑as‑you‑go.
