Introduction
Knative is a Kubernetes-based platform to deploy and manage modern serverless workloads. See the Knative documentation for in-depth information about using Knative.
Knative authors
Knative is an open source project with an active development community. The project was started by Google but has contributions from a growing number of industry-leading companies. For a current list of the authors, see Authors.
Authoring samples
Beyond the official documentation there are endless possibilities for combining tools, platforms, languages, and products. By submitting a tutorial you can share your experience and help others who are solving similar problems.
Community tutorials are stored in Markdown files under the community folder
Community Samples.
These documents are contributed, reviewed, and maintained by the community.
Submit a Pull Request to the community sample directory under the Knative
component folder that aligns with your document. For example, Knative Serving
samples are under the serving folder. A reviewer will be assigned to review
your submission. They'll work with you to ensure that your submission is clear,
correct, and meets the style guide, but it helps
if you follow it as you write your tutorial.
Meetings and work groups
Knative has public and recorded bi-weekly community meetings.
Each project has one or more working groups driving the project, and Knative has a single technical oversight committee monitoring the overall project.
