Horizontally autoscale workloads
Kong Gateway Operator can scrape Kong Gateway and enrich it with Kubernetes metadata so that it can be used by users to autoscale their workloads.
Before you begin, ensure that you have installed the Kong Gateway Operator in your Kubernetes cluster. This guide requires an enterprise license.
Before you begin, ensure that you have installed the Kong Gateway Operator in your Kubernetes cluster. This guide requires an enterprise license.
Prerequisites
Install Kong Gateway Operator
Update the Helm repository:
helm repo add kong https://charts.konghq.com
helm repo update kong
Install Kong Gateway Operator with Helm:
helm upgrade --install kgo kong/gateway-operator -n kong-system --create-namespace --set image.tag=1.3
You can wait for the operator to be ready using kubectl wait
:
kubectl -n kong-system wait --for=condition=Available=true --timeout=120s deployment/kgo-gateway-operator-controller-manager
Enterprise License
Note: This is an enterprise feature. In order to use it you’ll need a license installed in your cluster so that Kong Gateway Operator can consume it.

Overview
Kong Gateway provides extensive metrics through it’s Prometheus plugin. However, these metrics are labelled with Kong entities such as Service
and Route
rather than Kubernetes resources.
Kong Gateway Operator provides DataPlaneMetricsExtension
, which scrapes the Kong metrics and enriches them with Kubernetes labels before exposing them on it’s own /metrics
endpoint.
These enriched metrics can be used with the Kubernetes HorizontalPodAutoscaler
to autoscale workloads.
How it works
Attaching a DataPlaneMetricsExtension
resource to a ControlPlane
will:
- Create a managed Prometheus
KongPlugin
instance with the configuration defined inMetricsConfig
- Append the managed plugin to the selected
Service
s (throughDataPlaneMetricsExtension
’sserviceSelector
field)konghq.com/plugins
annotation - Scrape Kong Gateway’s metrics and enrich them with Kubernetes metadata
- Expose those metrics on Kong Gateway Operator’s
/metrics
endpoint
Example
This example deploys an echo
Service
which will have its latency measured and exposed on Kong Gateway Operator’s /metrics
endpoint. The service allows us to run any shell command, which we’ll use to add artificial latency later for testing purposes.

Next, create a DataPlaneMetricsExtension
that points to the echo
service, attach it to a GatewayConfiguration
resource and deploy a Gateway
with a HTTPRoute
so that we can make a HTTP request to the service.

Limitations
Multi backend Kong services
Kong Gateway Operator is not able to provide accurate measurements for multi backend Kong services e.g. HTTPRoute
s that have more than 1 backendRef
