Serving
Kubernetes-based, scale-to-zero, request-driven compute
Features
- Kubernetes-Native - A request-driven compute platform on Kubernetes that scales containers to zero when idle and manages revisions and traffic routing.
- CloudEvent-Triggered Invocations - Triggers serverless functions automatically in response to CloudEvents through a loosely coupled event mesh.
- Immutable Revision Snapshots - Snapshots deployed configurations and routes traffic across immutable revisions for canary and blue-green deployments.
- Zero-Instance Scaling - Scales application instances down to zero when idle and automatically creates new instances on the next request.
- Immutable Revision Configurations - Creates immutable revision snapshots from configuration changes, enabling rollback and revision tracking.
- Kubernetes Ecosystem - Uses standard Kubernetes custom resources, service accounts, and networking tools, and integrates with monitoring and CI/CD pipelines.
- Serverless Function Invokers - Invokes a serverless function automatically when a matching CloudEvent arrives through the eventing mesh.
- Native Kubernetes Resource Integration - Wraps standard Kubernetes custom resources and service accounts to manage serverless workloads.
- Scale-to-Zero Pods - Scales application pods down to zero when idle and creates new instances on the next request.
- Container Image Deployments - Deploys a container image as a serverless workload that automatically manages its lifecycle, routing, and revisions.
- Network Routing and Traffic Management - Directs incoming requests to the correct revision of a deployed container using built-in network programming.
- Revision-Based Traffic Splitting - Routes a configurable percentage of incoming requests to different application versions for canary and blue-green deployments.
- Revision-Targeted - Maps a network endpoint to one or more immutable code snapshots and controls traffic distribution among them.
- Weighted Traffic Splitting - Routes a configurable percentage of incoming requests to different application versions for canary and blue-green deployments.
- Revision Traffic Splits - Distributes incoming requests across multiple immutable revisions by percentage for canary and blue-green deployments.
- Immutable Revision Configurations - Maintains the desired deployment state independently from application code, creating a new immutable revision on each configuration change.
- Configuration Version Snapshots - Captures point-in-time snapshots of code and configuration to enable rollback and revision tracking.
- Revision Snapshots - Creates immutable point-in-time snapshots of code and configuration for rollback and revision tracking.
- Event-Driven Architectures - Provides an event-driven architecture that routes CloudEvents between producers and consumers using Brokers and Triggers.
- CloudEvent Routing Meshes - Routes CloudEvents from event sources to interested consumers using Brokers and Triggers.
- CloudEvents Implementations - Routes CloudEvents between producers and consumers using Brokers and Triggers for loosely coupled event-driven architectures.
- GPU-Accelerated Inference - Requests GPU resources through standard Kubernetes specifications to run AI and ML inference workloads with automatic scaling.
- Serverless GPU Inference Platforms - Requests GPU resources through Kubernetes specifications to run AI and ML inference workloads with automatic scaling.
- CLI Function Deployments - Creates, builds, and deploys stateless functions as container images using a CLI, abstracting away Kubernetes and container infrastructure.
- Stateless Function Deployments - Builds and deploys stateless function code as a containerized service without requiring Dockerfile or Kubernetes expertise.
- Custom Domain Mapping - Maps a custom domain name to a serverless workload so it is reachable at a user-controlled URL.
- Pluggable Ingress Controllers - Integrates with multiple networking layers such as Contour, Kourier, or Istio to serve traffic.
- Pluggable Network Layers - Integrates with multiple ingress controllers like Contour, Kourier, or Istio for custom traffic management.
- Custom Domains - Maps custom domain names to serverless workloads for user-controlled URL accessibility.
- Serverless Platforms - Request-driven compute for Kubernetes.
