buildkite-agent-scaler VS mantil

Buildkite uses a Lambda written in Go to manage autoscaling. It handles metrics and sets the autoscaling group to the correct capacity (instead of using built-in metrics). It's more upfront work but gives you much more flexibility https://github.com/buildkite/buildkite-agent-scaler

For those of you who want some additional context. I am with the team at Mantil, where we are developing a Go development kit for AWS. You can already check the first version while we are focusing on improving it to better support typical development workflow within a team that includes source control. At Mantil, we use trunk-based development, but that's not everybody's choice.

Thanks. That's exactly the kind of answer I'd hope I would get. Precise and actionable.

Admittedly, I'm a fan of serverless. I believe serverless will soon become a dominant form of cloud computing. I think it is just a matter of immaturity of the platforms and lack of tools. While I can't do much about the platforms, I can try to build better tools.

That's what my team and I are doing with Mantil https://github.com/mantil-io/mantil
