Getting Beyond FaaS: The PLONK Stack for Kubernetes Developers

on YouTube ↗35m

" summary

PLONK = Prometheus, Linkerd, OpenFaaS, NATS, Kubernetes maps concrete pieces to outcomes: PLONK = Prometheus, Linkerd, OpenFaaS, NATS, Kubernetes. A GitHub activity tracker using OpenFaaS, Postgres and NATS is built in a day and runs near-real-time; Prometheus drives autoscaling and alerts; Linkerd handles canary traffic and mTLS; NATS provides an async bus with callback URLs so long jobs (PDF generation) become background workers. Templates and a CLI shrink ~300 lines of YAML to a tiny CRD and get to production in minutes; OpenFaaS has ~250 contributors and 2,000 Slack users.
