Summary of Changes

Hello @eladmotola, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces native KEDA autoscaling capabilities to the vLLM Production Stack Helm chart. By integrating KEDA directly, users can now configure and manage dynamic scaling of their vLLM deployments declaratively through values.yaml, moving away from manual ScaledObject creation. This enhancement simplifies the operational overhead of maintaining optimal resource utilization and responsiveness for vLLM services on Kubernetes.

Highlights

  • KEDA Integration: KEDA (Kubernetes Event-driven Autoscaling) support has been integrated directly into the vLLM Production Stack Helm chart, enabling declarative autoscaling for vLLM deployments.
  • Automated ScaledObject Creation: A new Helm template (helm/templates/scaledobject-vllm.yaml) automates the creation of KEDA ScaledObject resources based on Helm chart values, simplifying deployment and management.
  • Enhanced Autoscaling Documentation: The autoscaling-keda.rst tutorial has been updated to reflect the new Helm-native configuration, including detailed steps for setup, verification, and advanced KEDA features like scale-to-zero and custom HPA behavior.
  • Comprehensive Configuration Options: The Helm chart now exposes extensive KEDA configuration options via values.yaml, allowing users to customize scaling behavior, triggers (e.g., Prometheus queue length), and fallback mechanisms.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Code Review

This pull request introduces KEDA support for autoscaling vLLM deployments, which is a great feature to have integrated into the Helm chart. The implementation is well-done, with a new ScaledObject template that includes a sensible default trigger. The documentation in both the README.md and values.yaml is comprehensive and clearly explains the new configuration options.

My main feedback is to improve the Prometheus query examples in the documentation and values.yaml. The current examples use queries that are not model-specific, which could lead to incorrect scaling behavior in the common multi-model deployment scenario. Making these examples more specific will provide better guidance to users.

serverAddress: http://prometheus-operated.monitoring.svc:9090

The Prometheus query in the example values.yaml is not model-specific. In a multi-model deployment, this would cause KEDA to scale based on the aggregate queue length of all models, which is likely not the desired behavior. The query should be filtered by the model name.

This also applies to the Scale-to-Zero example, where both the queue-based and traffic-based triggers should be model-specific to work correctly. For the keepalive trigger, a query like sum(increase(vllm:num_incoming_requests_total{model="llama3"}[1m])) with a threshold of 1 would be more appropriate to prevent scaling to zero as long as there is traffic to the specific model.

Suggested change
query: vllm:num_requests_waiting
query: 'vllm:num_requests_waiting{model="llama3"}'

The example Prometheus query here is not model-specific. This could be misleading for users and cause incorrect scaling behavior in multi-model deployments. The query should be filtered by the model name to scale each model independently. The example model is mistral, so the query should filter for model="mistral".

#           query: 'vllm:num_requests_waiting{model="mistral"}'
