▪ Implemented Autoscaling of Pods based on Kubernetes HPA(Horizontal Pod Autoscaling) for API and
Manager Layer Microservices which depend on CPU Utilization and Stream Processor Services which
depend on Message LAG value using KEDA(Kubernetes Event Driven Autoscaling) which enables effective
resource utilization and saving costs to the product by preventing overutilization of compute services.
▪ Implemented Tracing for Microservices which help in stitching the logs across microservices on AWS when
debugging from central logging system i.e Humio.
▪ Research on CICD related tools and microservice's requirements and enabled CICD for 26 GitHub
Repositories which helps in stable build and releases.
