I have a development cluster with many infrequently used demo applications. While I need to keep them around for periodic use, most of these apps are only touched about once a month. I'm trying to find a way to reduce costs when the apps aren't being used, and I'm okay with them taking some time to scale back up. Since most of the apps are quite complex—comprising multiple services like a front end, API, and more—I'd ideally want to scale everything up together when the front end is accessed to get it running smoothly faster. I've heard of tools like Knative and KEDA, but are there other options I should explore? What would work best for my situation?

I recently came across a tool called Elasti that could be perfect for your needs! It helps with scaling down and up efficiently for apps that don’t see constant usage.
Yes! I remember seeing that too but couldn’t recall the name. Your mention of Elasti really sparked my interest since I’m facing a similar issue. I’ll definitely check it out!
