• Serverless computing is a deployment model that abstracts the way applications are deployed on infrastructure, provides auto-scaling capabilities, and has a simplified development and deployment model.
• Functions are a programming model that has a certain function signature that needs to be matched to deploy the function.
• The presentation showcases the use of Knative Serving and Eventing building blocks, CNCF Buildpacks, Tekton Pipelines, and Camel-K for processing Amsterdam city data.
• Developers can benefit from serverless concepts and still be able to deploy across multiple cloud environments.
• The demo includes a react application with a node.js backend that emits cloud events and exposes rest APIs.
• The presentation highlights the benefits of using serverless computing for event-driven applications that scale on demand and consume just the right amount of resources.
• The demo showcases the use of serverless functions for adding real-time capabilities to applications.
• The presentation emphasizes the user-friendliness of the solution, with no Dockerfiles or YAML editing required.
• The presentation includes a live demo of the solution in action.

• Service-based applications allow developers to focus on code without worrying about infrastructure or low-level security details
• Containers provide a sealed context that can be replicated anywhere and offer flexibility in language and library choice
• K native is an open-source project that brings service to containers and runs anywhere Kubernetes runs
• Cloud Run is a managed version of K native on Google Cloud that simplifies the process of bringing service to containers
• An anecdote is provided to demonstrate the use of Cloud Eventing to trigger a service based on an uploaded image

• Knative brings scale to zero and developer happiness through its programming model and client tools
• Knative Functions reduces the mental overhead and learning curve for developers new to Kubernetes
• The demo showcases the use of Camel K for an event source and the K-native event broker for Cloud events
• The demo involves deploying two functions, creating an event broker, creating two triggers, and applying a YAML file for the Twitter search camlet
• The translate function checks if a Tweet is in English and calls the Google Translate API if it is not
• The viewer function receives Cloud events and prints them to the screen
• The Twitter search camlet polls the Twitter search API and converts results into Cloud events
• The demo illustrates the ease and speed of developing reactive Kubernetes apps with Knative Functions
