The document discusses the concept of serverless computing and its implementation on Kubernetes, emphasizing the developer experience and cost efficiency of serverless architectures. It introduces key components like Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS), and highlights tools such as Knative for managing serverless workloads on Kubernetes. Additionally, it covers the flexibility and scalability of serverless solutions, as well as the convergence of serverless platforms with Kubernetes in cloud environments.

- 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

- 37. WHAT IS KUBERNETES ?
- 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

- 61. Knative Knative build “Deprecating Knative Build would resolve this confusion as it would make it clear that the "building the service(s) image" part is not Knative's responsability and user can use whatever tools is capable of doing that — preferably Tekton Pipelines 👼.”
