Stop Calling Knative Serverless!
summary
Argues Knative is a general deployment layer on Kubernetes, not just “serverless,” and shows concrete behaviors: Knative Serving creates named revisions with HTTPS endpoints, does scale-to-zero, supports container concurrency and min/max instances, and performs traffic splitting (demo shows ~50/50 split and a 10-pod scale-up when concurrency=1). Eventing converts inputs to CloudEvents, uses brokers/triggers and sources (GitHub webhook → build service), and a CI/build demo scales to ~10 builds; demos run with Istio and had minor live glitches.
