Sponsored Session: Performance at Enterprise Cloud Scale: Coupa’s Ku... Peter Irwin & Carl Baumcratz

This talk features Peter Irwin from ScaleOps and Carl Baumcratz from Coupa, who discuss Coupa's journey in optimizing Kubernetes performance at enterprise cloud scale. The session addresses systemic challenges encountered with rapid platform growth, such as inconsistent workload performance and inefficient resource management. The speakers share insights on the adoption of an automated, performance-engineered approach that mitigates manual resource tuning, leading to improved scheduling precision and reduced infrastructure costs. The discussion emphasizes the limitations of traditional autoscaling methods in large production environments and highlights how intelligent resource automation can enhance both cost control and developer efficiency.
