Knative's Road Ahead: A Project Update

Knative Eventing: Building Event-Driven Applications

• Knative Eventing is a platform for creating event-driven applications
• It has primitives for building an event mesh with a broker at the center
• Sources create cloud events and send them to the broker, which dispatches them to interested listeners
• Triggers can be used to register applications to the broker with filters for event types
• Eventing and serving can be used separately or together
• Recent highlights include multi-namespace API server sources and event discovery
• The roadmap includes improving performance and scalability of the serving API

The speaker mentioned that Eventing can be used to build a flexible mesh of event-driven applications, where services can return events as responses. This allows for a highly adaptable system that can scale down to zero if there are no events. Additionally, the speaker noted that the platform is HTTP-driven and can be used with any resource that has a URL.

Knative, the most widely-adopted serverless platform on Kubernetes, offers a streamlined developer experience for deploying and managing stateless and event-driven applications. During this project update from its maintainers, attendees will learn about the latest developments in Knative, including updates on Serving, Eventing, Functions, Client, and more. Additionally, the "sandbox" projects related to Knative, such as plugins for eventing, networking, client, and security, have also grown. Finally, the update will conclude with a review of the upcoming releases and roadmaps. Join us to stay informed on the latest advancements in Knative and to have your questions answered by on-site Knative maintainers.
