- This paper proposes a hierarchical solution to scale streaming services across quality and resource dimensions. Modern scenarios, like smart cities, heavily rely on the continuous processing of IoT data to provide real-time services and meet application targets (Service Level Objectives -- SLOs). While the tendency is to process data at nearby Edge devices, this creates a bottleneck because resources can only be provisioned up to a limited capacity. To improve elasticity in Edge environments, we propose to scale services in multiple dimensions -- either resources or, alternatively, the service quality. We rely on a two-layer architecture where (1) local, service-specific agents ensure SLO fulfillment through multi-dimensional elasticity strategies; if no more resources can be allocated, (2) a higher-level agent optimizes global SLO fulfillment by swapping resources. The experimental results show promising outcomes, outperforming regular vertical autoscalers, when operating under tight resource constraints.
