fourkeys VS krr

Four Keys is an open source alternative by Google employees that has been halted earlier this year (but forks-friendly).

DORA metrics

We began tracking Dora metrics by saving all events from our SCM and CI/CD systems into postres DB. Guidance: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/fourkeys

For starters, there a number of tools such as Sleuth (disclaimer: am co-founder) that will measure the metrics for you. There are also open source options like Four Keys and many vendors like Gitlab also provide some or all metrics as well, though make sure they are measuring things as you expect.

I looked a lot for a tool that could help my team track these metrics. I knew that Jira, Gitlab, and some other tools implement these features but I was looking for something with a high level of customization, and not so coupled to a specific product (we use different systems for deployment, change, and incident) and one day I incidentally discovered FourKeys.

GoogleCloudPlatform/fourkeys is a software tool built by Google to generate insights from data based on the four core metrics mentioned above.

One solution we would recommend is the Four Keys project by Google.

Yep, in the process of productising Google’s Four Keys pattern. Pretty quick to stand up if you’re already on GCP.

Thanks buddy. I have seen a tool recently by robusta but not sure if helpful or not. Haven't tried it yet. https://github.com/robusta-dev/krr

To calculate the optimal values you will need to have some historical metrics from a timeframe with representative load flowing through the pods. Then you can check the CPU/Memory usage metrics to see typical/max usage. There are also various tools that can help you with recommendations, but they will most likely require metrics history too, e.g. https://github.com/robusta-dev/krr

VPA is ok. I thought this project, https://github.com/robusta-dev/krr, from Robusta looked promising (for sizing containers). I'd also look at continuous profiling solutions like Prodfiler or Parca.
