Bigtable Autoscaler: saving money and time using managed storage

This post introduces the Bigtable Autoscaler, a new service developed by Spotify to automate the rightsizing of Google Cloud Bigtable clusters. It details the autoscaler's configuration options (min/max nodes, CPU target, overload step), its operational logic (gathering metrics every 30 seconds, applying scaling rules), and its support for batch jobs via a dedicated endpoint. The post also outlines the quick start guide for deployment and future plans for predictive scaling using Facebook Prophet.
