📝 Abstract
Distributed Stream Processing applications at the edge must reconcile low latency and high throughput with limited and heterogeneous resources. This paper presents a dynamic vertical scaling strategy based on Proximal Policy Optimization, formulated as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process. The policy jointly adjusts task allocations and prioritizes compliance with a p95 end-to-end latency Service Level Objective. In EdgeStreamPy simulation experiments with two application profiles, two workloads, and ten paired placements per combination, the selected policies preserved throughput, obtained mean violation rates from 0.03% to 0.30%, below VRebalance in every scenario, and used less CPU in three of four combinations. The comparison covers complete controller configurations with different decision frequencies.
