Building a FaaS Platform Using CNCF OSS Projects (Knative, Crossplane, Tekton, ArgoCD)
summary
Shows how to build a self‑service FaaS platform that provisions per‑developer environments and promotes functions to production using CNCF tools: Crossplane compositions create clusters and databases, a vcluster / bigcluster approach gives isolated dev API servers, Knative + func CLI builds and deploys functions without Dockerfiles, and Argo CD GitOps promotes YAML from a repo. Live demo tries the full flow (env create → deploy function → GitOps sync) but the onstage demo mostly fails; repo and step‑by‑step tutorial are available.
