Knative Serving

go.dev reference Go Report Card Releases LICENSE Slack Status codecov CII Best Practices

Knative Serving builds on Kubernetes to support deploying and serving of applications and functions as serverless containers. Serving is easy to get started with and scales to support advanced scenarios.

The Knative Serving project provides middleware primitives that enable:

  • Rapid deployment of serverless containers
  • Automatic scaling up and down to zero
  • Routing and network programming
  • Point-in-time snapshots of deployed code and configurations

For documentation on using Knative Serving, see the serving section of the Knative documentation site.

For documentation on the Knative Serving specification, see the docs folder of this repository.

If you are interested in contributing, see CONTRIBUTING.md and DEVELOPMENT.md. For a list of all help wanted issues across Knative, take a look at CLOTRIBUTOR.
