HPA is solid for most stateless services, but pairing it with Cluster Autoscaler is key for real elasticity.

VPA shines for memory-heavy jobs, just watch the restarts.

Never used Kubernetes, but something that caught my attention is that the patterns are very similar to scaling any other infrastructure: Vertical, horizontal, etc.

Thanks for the mention!
