Tired of your JVM being a memory hog? Rightsizing JVM workloads on Kubernetes requires knowing what the appropriate heap size should be and then sizing the container around that heap size. By analyzing Java metrics using machine learning, we generate tailored recommendations for heap size, as well as Kubernetes resource requests and limits. These recommendations can be reviewed and applied through a user-friendly interface, or they can be deployed automatically, for continuous performance optimization. Drop us a comment or message about accessing our limited availability Java Workload Optimization.

Your Kubernetes autoscaling strategy needs to address both nodes and pods. Get started with a primer on the cluster autoscaler. From there, you can delve into more advanced solutions like Karpenter (or Amazon EKS Auto Mode) to complement your horizontal and vertical pod scaling approaches.

Managing Kubernetes is a lot of work. How can you offload some of that operational overhead? Lucas Soriano Alves Duarte and Rafael Brito will break it down for you live on March 27. Signup!??

It was fantastic to bring together the cloud-native community for an another evening of insightful discussions and meaningful connections. The event offered a valuable opportunity to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore the latest developments in cloud-native technologies. A big thank you to John Platt CTO at StormForge for his excellent talk on “Demystifying Kubernetes Resource Management.” His insights sparked engaging conversations and left us with practical takeaways to apply in our own work. Appreciate everyone who took the time to join us and contribute to the discussions. Events like this highlight the value of community-driven learning and collaboration. We’re already looking forward to the next Cloud Native Midtown meetup. If you missed this one, stay tuned for future events with more talks, discussions, and networking opportunities.

Thank you Cloud Native Midtown for coming out in NYC last night! The conversations, ideas, and questions asked were ?? (and of course the ?? 'cuz NYC). Here's a snapshot of what we heard: ?? Everyone has heard of requests and limits, no one know how they work under the hood ?? How you set requests and limits is a judgement call bases on various factors ?? Why did they make limits at all if you shouldn’t set them? ?? Every workload is a snowflake - from ML needing tons of compute to java hogging memory ?? Karpenter is amazing, but it can be a lot of work to run - people can offload that to AWS now with EKS Auto Mode

Muito orgulhoso de participar desse evento como co-organizador e ainda mais a minha organiza??o StormForge como patrocinador! A comunidade e mercado de Kubernetes no Brasil e na America Latina é uma potência, muita gente ainda se surpreende com isso! Junte-se a mim nesse evento, vamos trocar figurinhas de como gerenciar clusters em escala, e aprender um com os outros! Até o dia 22/Mar?o e corre que o segundo lote de ingressos já esta esgotando!

The State of FinOps 2025 Report just dropped, and one thing is clear: FinOps is evolving—fast. ?? Priorities are shifting. Governance and policy at scale are now the top focus, replacing last year’s push for workload optimization and waste reduction. ?? FinOps teams aren’t just managing cloud spend anymore. SaaS, licensing, and AI costs are becoming a bigger part of the equation. So what does all of this actually mean for FinOps teams, cloud engineers, and finance leaders?

Yasmin COO at StormForge discusses how resource governance becomes critical in large Kubernetes clusters. She explains how adding "safety buffers" compounds across workloads, driving cluster utilization into single digits. The interview explores the tension between platform teams pursuing cost optimization and development teams prioritizing reliability through over-provisioning.

?? Rightsizing JVM workloads on Kubernetes isn't like rightsizing any other type of workload. The JVM has very unique requirements that necessitate a unique approach. Do you know what metrics you need to monitor?

Learn even a little bit about how Kubernetes actually works, and others might start to mistake your newfound knowledge for sorcery. In this snapshot of our guide peeling back the onion of how Kubernetes requests and limits actually work, you'll get a big picture view of the layers in the looking glass: the subsystems that relate to these inputs. ??
