So when does Yelp see spikes in traffic needing a custom Autoscaler? I guess just the daily time zone based sine wave type load?

  I guess there are also spiky offline jobs, like Apache spark as mentioned on the article. Likely for things like search indexing, training ML models, etc.

  Usually around dinner time in our big metro areas :)

    That makes sense, do you have any annual spikes too? Like Uber has Halloween, which I wouldn’t have guessed as being the worst.

      Mother's Day was a surprising one for me! A lot of people take their parents out for brunch. Same goes for Valentine's Day.
