Knative and the three Dwarfs
summary
Explains Knative as middleware on Kubernetes with three concrete pieces: Build, Serving, and Eventing; shows live demos that prove scale behavior — scale-to-zero and scale-from-zero, revision creation on config change, and pinned revisions for rollbacks; runs a siege load test (50 concurrency → five pods when target concurrency is 10) to show autoscaler behavior and minScale; wires a cron source to Eventing to generate CloudEvents and deliver them to a service; mentions container builds moved to a separate project.
