Kubernetes Optimization Alerts Dashboard

Overview

PerfectScale is a comprehensive cloud-agnostic solution that enables teams with continuous and autonomous Kubernetes optimization capabilities. Our main goal is to empower teams to effortlessly manage their infrastructure, make quick, data-driven decisions, and reach peak performance at the lowest possible cost.

PerfectScale monitors resiliency metrics across your Kubernetes environment and sends these metrics to Datadog through the Integration. When PerfectScale identifies under-provisioned or misconfigured workloads, it promptly pushes an alert to the Datadog dashboard detailing the issue type (such as OOM, CPU-Throttling, Eviction, and more) along with its precise location (cluster, namespace, workload, and container).
