Why serverless containers?

Serverless refers to running back-end programs and processes in the cloud. Serverless works on an as-used basis, meaning that companies only use what they pay for. Knative is a platform-agnostic solution for running serverless deployments.

Knative Components

Knative has two main components that empower teams working with Kubernetes. Serving and
Eventing work together to automate and manage tasks and applications.

Run serverless containers in Kubernetes with ease. Knative takes care of the details of networking, autoscaling (even to zero), and revision tracking. Teams can focus on core logic using any programming language.

Universal subscription, delivery and management of events. Build modern apps by attaching compute to a data stream with declarative event connectivity and developer friendly object models.
