Autopilot makes scaling decisions in roughly 10 seconds — about 2× faster than HPA's typical 30-second-to-3-minute reaction window — using workload-performance-based signals instead of CPU percentage alone.
How does Wave handle known traffic spikes like sales events?▼
Autopilot Scheduler lets you pre-scale for known events — sales, launches, batch kickoffs — so capacity is ready before traffic arrives instead of reacting after it.
What happens if scaling still can't keep up with a spike?▼
Wave Flow adds priority-based load shedding and admission control, so critical traffic stays protected even when total capacity is temporarily exceeded.
