Let's Go Knative
summary
Knative demonstration shows how Knative Serving plus Knative Eventing on Kubernetes actually delivers scale‑to‑zero, per‑revision traffic splitting and CloudEvents plumbing using container‑source, brokers and triggers. The demo wires brokers to common sources (Kafka/SQS style), performs a 50/50 traffic split for a canary, and measures cold starts of roughly 70–100 seconds for containers coming from zero. The system works end‑to‑end but exposes practical limits: activator latency, startup time and cluster sizing remain the main operational headaches.
