An Intro to Project Riff, a FaaS Built on Top of Knative
summary
Project riff runs on Kubernetes and uses Knative Serving plus Istio sidecars to auto scale apps to zero and back; riff CLI plus Kaniko builds produce container images on-cluster. The demo builds a Node function that squares numbers, invokes it (input 7 returns 49), and wires channels with the Knative eventing stub bus to chain a correlator and a greeter so a single blocking request returns "hello 49"; the stub bus is nonpersistent so production should use Kafka or another real provider.
