How StormForge Optimize Live Works
StormForge Optimize Live analyzes your production observability data to recommend CPU and memory settings for improved efficiency with reduced risk of application performance and user experience issues.
So… How does it work?
Step 1
Create your application
An application in StormForge is a set of Kubernetes resources that can be optimized. To create an application, just specify the namespace and, optionally, a label selector. StormForge automatically shows you which resources can be tuned.
Step 2
Enable Recommendations
To enable Optimize Live to start providing recommendations for improved efficiency, just select which container resources to optimize, min and max CPU and memory, risk tolerance, recommendation frequency, and whether to deploy recommendations automatically or with approval.
Step 3
StormForge Machine Learning
StormForge machine learning begins analyzing performance and utilization data from Prometheus or other observability solutions. Optimize Live then begins feeding you recommendations at the frequency selected during setup.
Step 4
Implement Recommendations
If you configured your application for automatic implementation of recommendations, you can sit back and relax at this point. StormForge will automatically patch deployments with the recommended configuration.
If you configured your application for manual deployment, you can view the recommendation including container-level details before deciding to approve or not.
Step 5
See the Efficiency Gains
You can see the savings with an included Grafana dashboard showing actual resource usage, baseline resource requests and limits, and the StormForge recommended requests and limits.
With StormForge advanced machine learning, you’ll see recommended resources track much more closely to actual usage, resulting in significant resource savings and reduced risk of CPU throttling and out-of-memory errors.

That's it!
Repeat Steps 3 to 5
At this point, you can sit back, relax, and let StormForge do the work for you. Put your resource management on autopilot and realize the benefits of improved efficiency.
