StormForge has announced StormForge Optimize Live, a new solution for automatically and intelligently improving the efficiency of production environments. Optimize Live analyzes existing observability data using machine learning to recommend real-time configuration changes that reduce resource usage and cost while ensuring application performance.

StormForge Optimize Live is ML-powered multi-dimensional optimization. The ML goes beyond cost or performance to enable intelligent business trade-offs. It is purpose-built for Kubernetes and lays the foundation to optimize the entire Kubernetes stack, including application, pod and container. It runs in any CNCF-certified distribution.

It includes automated optimization, enabling fast time-to-value with one-click deployment for production optimization and automated Rapid Experimentation for pre-production. And it leverages existing data to deliver insights and optimization from observability and cost data already being collected.

The new solution is part of the StormForge platform, which now closes the loop between pre-production and production optimization to proactively and continuously ensure peak efficiency for organizations using Kubernetes.

StormForge platform updates for enterprise-readiness are also being announced today: RBAC system; 24/7 production support; and air-gapped deployment, including UI, SSO/SAML and release mechanics.

Pre-production optimization and load testing improvements include: one-click, UI-based application scanning for easier experiment creation; improved visualization of experiments with trial logs and UI-based parameter editing; and Hail (perf testing engine) in-cluster for improved security & flexibility use for internal applications.
