" summary

Riff is an open source function runtime built on Kubernetes that turns small scripts or jars into containers with an invoker base image and a sidecar for event binding; demos show shell, JavaScript, Python and Reactor Java functions (greeter, square, vote processor) wired through topics, persisted to Redis and run on minikube, GKE and PKS. Custom resources manage topics/functions, autoscaling reacts to Kafka lag and partitions so a function can cold start to warm and scale 0→10 by partitions with a configurable 10s idle timeout.
