“We were essentially able to reduce the cost of that cluster by about 75%. On AWS, DevZero demonstrated they could achieve significantly higher savings than we initially thought possible.”

Real-time automated
pod rightsizing
DevZero is a Kubernetes optimization platform that applies CPU and memory limits in-place using CRIU checkpoint/restore. No restarts. No dropped connections. No eviction.

In-place resource updatesNo eviction, no disruption
VPA rightsizes by evicting and rescheduling pods, dropping active connections and breaking stateful workloads. DevZero uses CRIU checkpoint/restore to resize container limits in-place: the process is frozen, limits are updated, and execution resumes with no eviction and no connection loss.
Percentile-based forecastingby workload, not per cluster
Metrics are analyzed using percentile windows (P50, P95, P99) over configurable time ranges. Bursty batch jobs get wide limits; steady-state API servers get tight P95-aligned limits. A confidence score prevents under-provisioning below your SLO threshold.
Real-time cost visibilityper namespace, per workload
DevZero tracks optimization coverage across your workloads in real time, showing active policies, pending recommendations, and applied changes. Engineering leaders can see exactly what has been optimized, what is pending, and where savings are being generated.
Why DevZero over native Kubernetes tools
Native Kubernetes autoscalers were designed for availability, not cost efficiency. DevZero is built specifically to eliminate waste without compromising stability.

In-place resizing via CRIU
DevZero applies resource limit changes to the running container using CRIU checkpointing. The process freezes for under 200ms, limits are rewritten, and execution resumes with no eviction and no scheduler round-trip.

Workload-aware forecasting per workload class
Forecasting models are trained per workload class, not per namespace or cluster. Bursty batch jobs get wide limits; steady-state API servers get tight P95-aligned limits. A confidence score prevents under-provisioning below your configured SLO threshold.

DevZero reads CPU throttle rates, memory pressure (PSI), and OOM events directly from cgroup v2, not 15-second Prometheus averages. Sub-second anomalies that cause P99 latency spikes are visible and actionable.
