**A system architecture for streaming data pipelines that scales automatically while minimizing compute costs.**

Applications deployed as Kubernetes Deployments (or StatefulSets) can be scaled manually or automatically either through the API or with the HorizontalPodAutoscaler (HPA). This can be a great solution for scaling relatively steady workloads with short-lived task durations, such as a REST API backing a web application.

With volatile workloads, back pressure can become a problem. If volume increases faster than resources can scale up, requests will time out.
