Knative

Knative offers features like scale-to-zero, autoscaling, in-cluster builds, and eventing framework for cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in a third-party data center, Knative codifies the best practices shared by successful real-world Kubernetes-based frameworks.

Run your serverless at your own terms

Knative provides an open API and runtime environment that enables you to run your serverless workloads anywhere you choose: - Fully managed on Google Cloud, - Anthos on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) - On your own Kubernetes cluster

Knative makes it easy to start with Cloud Run and later move to Cloud Run for Anthos or start in your own Kubernetes cluster and migrate to Cloud Run in the future. By using Knative as the underlying platform, you can move your workloads freely across platforms, while significantly reducing the switching costs.
