Unleashing the Power of Serverless on Kubernetes with Knative, Crossplane, Dapr, KEDA, and Friends

When I say serverless I don’t mean lambda - I mean serverless That is thousands of lines of YAML - but I don’t want to depress you It will be eventually done Imagine this error is not happening Just imagine how I did this last night

Goal

• Take my source code and run it, scale it - just don’t ask me

Baseline

• Use Kubernetes for platform
• Use kNative for autoscaling
• Use Kaniko/Shipwright for building
• Use Dupr for inter-service Communication

Open function

The glue between different tools to achieve serverless

• CRD that describes:
  • Build this image and push it to the registry
  • Use this builder to build my project
  • This in my Repo
  • My App listens on this port
  • Annotations

Dependencies

• Open Questions
  • Where are the serverless servers -> Cluster, dependencies, secrets
  • How do I create DBs, etc.
• Resulting needs
  • CLUSTERaaS (using crossplane - in this case using AWS)
  • DBaaS (using crossplane - again using pg on AWS)
  • APPaaS
