Iter8: Kubernetes Release Optimizer

Kubernetes release optimizer built for DevOps, MLOps, SRE and data science teams.

Use Iter8 experiments to safely rollout apps and ML models, and maximize business value with each release. Use with any app/serverless/ML framework.

Quick start

Install Iter8 CLI. See here for more ways to install.

brew tap iter8-tools/iter8
brew install iter8

Benchmark an HTTP service.

Features at a glance

• Load testing with SLOs

  Iter8 experiments can generate requests for HTTP and gRPC services, collect built-in latency and error-related metrics, and validate SLOs.

• A/B(/n) testing

  Grow your business with every release. Iter8 experiments can compare multiple versions based on business value and identify a winner.

• Use anywhere

  Get started with Iter8 in seconds using pre-packaged experiment charts. Run Iter8 experiments locally, inside Kubernetes, or inside your CI/CD/GitOps pipelines.

• App frameworks

  Use with any app, serverless, or ML framework. Iter8 works with Kubernetes deployments, statefulsets, Knative services, KServe/Seldon ML deployments, or other custom Kubernetes resource types.

Usage Examples

1. Load test an HTTP service and validate SLOs.
2. Control the load characteristics during the HTTP load test experiment.
3. Load test an HTTP POST endpoint with request payload.
4. Learn more about built-in metrics and SLOs in an HTTP load test experiment.
5. Load test a Knative HTTP service.
