Serverless is one of the hottest design patterns in the cloud today, i’ll cover how the Serverless paradigms are changing the way we develop applications and the cloud infrastructures and how to implement Serveless-kind workloads with Kubernetes. We’ll go through the latest Kubernetes-based serverless technologies, covering the most important aspects including pricing, scalability, observability and best practices
![Knative - Openshift serverless
Openshift Serverless
1. GA product since 30rd of April
2. Based on Knative Serving + Eventing + Tekton pipeline
3. Fully integrated with the Openshift ecosystem.
Pivotal Riff
1. Deep Kubernetes integration using CRDs
2. Pluggable application runtimes [Core, Knative...]
3. A custom builder based on buildpacks.io (source to container)

- 9. 1. Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) which typically provides event-driven computing. Developers run and manage application code with functions that are triggered by events or HTTP requests. Developers deploy small units of code to the FaaS, which are executed as needed as discrete actions, scaling without the need to manage servers or any other underlying infrastructure. 2. Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) which are third-party API-based services that replace core subsets of functionality in an application. Because those APIs are provided as a service that auto-scales and operates transparently, this appears to the developer to be serverless. Serverless computing platform

- 38. What is Kubernetes What is Kubernetes https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kubernetes/ Kubernetes is a portable, extensible, open-source platform for managing containerized workloads and services, that facilitates both declarative configuration and automation. The name Kubernetes originates from Greek, meaning helmsman or pilot. Google open-sourced the Kubernetes project in 2014. Kubernetes combines over 15 years of Google’s experience running production workloads at scale with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community.

- 50. Serverless & Kubernetes Developing on Kubernetes is not easy 1. It’s not the right abstractions for end-developer experience (eg: deployment, service, ingress, hpa, monitoring) 2. But it’s a great platform to build a PaaS on top of it: Primitives, Extensibility
