KEDA (Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling) is a CNCF graduated project that scales workloads based on external event sources - queues, streams, cron schedules, Prometheus metrics, and 60+ other triggers.

​
What Radar Shows

Topology: ScaledObject → target workload (Deployment, StatefulSet, or Rollout). ScaledObject and ScaledJob triggers also link to observed TriggerAuthentication or ClusterTriggerAuthentication resources. Authentication is a dependency, not an autoscaler target; omitted kind defaults to a same-namespace TriggerAuthentication. Cluster-scoped targets retain per-kind read gating. These declarations do not prove credential validity or trigger readiness. Applications configuration references and counts exclude authentication objects the caller cannot read.

ScaledObject Detail View:
  • Status conditions (Ready, Active, Paused, Fallback)
  • Target workload reference
  • Min/Max/Idle replica configuration
  • Polling interval and cooldown period
  • Trigger list with type and metadata
  • Generated HPA name
  • Pause state detection (supports all 3 annotation variants)
