OptScaler: A Collaborative Framework for Robust Autoscaling in the Cloud

Summary: Collaborative autoscaling framework that tightly integrates proactive workload prediction and a reactive self‑tuning estimator via an optimization module using MPC with chance constraints, enabling robust joint decisions for co‑located long‑running apps. Outperforms prior autoscalers (~36% fewer SLO violations) and validated in production at Alipay. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
