Serverless Functions at the Edge with Knative and K3s

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Live demo deploys Raspberry Pi single-node K3s running Knative Serving + Eventing with Contour on ARM, creating Flask/Python functions that insert rows into MySQL and update a Grafana dashboard; functions are instantiated on demand when infrared remote presses LEDs and then auto-scale-to-zero after idle, saving CPU/RAM. Repo and YAMLs exist; everything runs locally over Ethernet. Notes cover ARM/Contour support, static IP networking challenges, lightweight in-memory brokers versus heavier Kafka, and tradeoffs for edge development.
