How it Works

Three steps from setup to savings

01

Collect

The agent continuously profiles CPU and memory usage per container over a configurable 14-day window. No code changes needed.

02

Analyze

Statistical analysis (P50-P99) with growth and spike buffers generates safe recommendations per workload.

03

Review

Review recommendations in the dashboard and export optimized YAML manifests for your team to apply.

Container-Level Analysis

Per-container CPU and memory profiling with p50, p95, and p99 usage metrics over configurable time windows.

  • Compare provisioned, requested, and actual usage patterns for CPU and memory
  • Proactively identify over-provisioned containers to reduce cloud waste

Smart Recommendations

Statistical recommendations that account for traffic patterns, cron jobs, and seasonal variations.

  • Algorithm accounts for peak usage, daily cycles, and weekly traffic patterns
  • Confidence scores help you prioritize which recommendations to apply first

Safety Guardrails

Configurable safety margins ensure recommendations never risk OOMKills or CPU throttling.

  • Set custom safety margins per namespace or workload criticality level
  • Automatic detection of bursty workloads that need headroom above p99

Before/After Tracking

Track actual savings after applying recommendations with side-by-side utilization comparisons.

  • Side-by-side comparison of resource usage before and after optimization
  • Cumulative savings tracker showing realized cost reductions over time

CI/CD Integration

Integrate rightsizing checks into your deployment pipeline to catch over-provisioning before it ships.

  • GitHub Actions and GitLab CI integrations for automated resource checks
  • Block deployments that exceed resource thresholds in your pipeline
