About
GoKubeDownscaler is an open-source horizontal autoscaler for Kubernetes that scales workloads down during off-hours such as nights, weekends, and holidays based on user-defined schedules. It supports fine-grained configuration via global settings or per-namespace/workload annotations, and is compatible with major cloud providers and popular CRDs like KEDA, Prometheus, and Argo. Teams can install it via Helm in under a minute and typically achieve up to 70% reduction in Kubernetes cloud costs.
Problem
Kubernetes non-production workloads and internal tools run 24/7, wasting cloud spend during off-hours when they are not needed.
For
DevOps engineers and platform teams managing Kubernetes clusters
How it works
A controller continuously reads schedule configurations and automatically scales workloads down during defined low-usage windows, restoring them to their original state when the window ends.
