  • kube-state-metrics

    Add-on agent to generate and expose cluster-level metrics.

  • I've never had a cluster of that size, so take it with a grain of salt - but maybe you could try purpose-based sharding? KSM has allowlist and denylist config flags, for configuring which metrics it exposes https://github.com/kubernetes/kube-state-metrics/blob/main/docs/cli-arguments.md

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
