Break the Kubernetes Iron Triangle by Optimizing Your Apps

In the project management world, there is a concept known as the “iron triangle.” If you want a project done faster, for example, it will either cost more, or you will have to sacrifice quality.

Then you’ll either need to sacrifice application performance or expect your team to spend a lot more time on trial-and-error tuning of your application so it can run more efficiently.

As a human being, all you can do is leverage your experience, make your best guess as to the optimal settings, deploy your application and see what happens.

Follow these steps, and you are well on your way to that free lunch (or at least a really inexpensive one).
