Serverless On Your Own Terms using Knative
summary
Knative packages serving, build and eventing on Kubernetes and claims portability across Cloud Run and other vendors; it launches from ~13 precursor projects (Sept 2018) and now has 60+ contributors and ~9 workgroups. Demos show a Spring Boot pipeline using Jib and Tekton that builds and pushes container images in ~30s, a prime-number app that auto-scales to zero, cluster-local services for internal-only endpoints, blue/green and gradual traffic shifts (2–4%), and an event pipeline using CloudEvents envelope, brokers, triggers, Firestore, NLP and Slack.
