[{“insert”:"I’m thinking about writing an article on Cloud Foundry’s app autoscaling and load balancing features, but I’m lacking ideas on interesting use cases.

The whole app could be affected. Not sure if this should only be addressed from a monitoring level perspective or even if it falls under the autoscaling feature or if there is ground for improvement to collect additional metrics based on service broker integration

Oh thanks, didn’t know about Locust yet, will definitely take a look.
Do you guys have any WhatsApp Group where you broadcast the latest updates??
Hi @Xatip, thanks for your question. We do not have a WhatsApp group at this point. Announcements related to the SUSE Developer Community and the CAP sandbox are posted her in the forum and in the What’s New section on https://developers.suse.com. Is there a particular need that requires WhatsApp for you?
